72,000 for 9 months of work seems outrageous to me.
It seems like a lot to me also. Take off an extra month for holidays and spring break and it is closer to 8 months. The hours are good too. No travel, no midnight calls to come in.
Cherry-pick the high salaries and go ahead criticize.
A LOT of teachers don’t make near this amount - just call your local Catholic school teacher if you don’t believe me.
Anyhow, I challenge YOU to try and deal with a classroom, given all the legal, curricular, parental, etc. pressures, never mind the little imps themselves.
Does not include paid vacations,
Does not include the average of 20,000 to 40,000 in tax free benefits, putting many of them over 100,000 in earnings.
Yet they bitch and moan when "forced" to pay a few percent into their pensions, or their health care.
Lastly, here is CA they retire with full health care and a pension of approximately 4,000 a month.
It's good to be a govt milker.
