Also: The article breaks down the cost per pupil. How much of that money is for administration costs? If teachers make so much money what is the school principal making? Toll booth operators in NJ are making $100,000. And school janitors in NYC are making more than teachers. Why single out teachers? Again, just wondering.
Most teachers would be very surprised to find out they are making that much money, even when benefits are included. Most Administrators would be frothing mad over the pay cut. Public school administrators are among the most overrated and overpaid people in the world, and that’s the ones who perform necessary jobs. A great many could be cut without any deleterious consequences to their school districts.
sheer numbers and tenure!!
There is a hatred of teachers in this culture that is truly baffling. Sometimes I wish WE could do an Atlas Shrugged and see how America likes bored children and teenagers running wild year around.
