Cute one for all us teachers

got this in an email today....thought it was cute


AREN'T YOU ALL SICK OF THOSE HIGH PAID TEACHERS??

Their hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work nine or ten months a year! It's time we put things in perspective and pay them for
what they do... baby-sit!

We can get that for less than minimum wage. That is right, I would give them $3.00 dollars an hour and only the hours they worked, not any of
that silly planning time. That would be $19.50 a day (7:45 AM to 4:00 PM with 45 min. off for lunch). Each parent should pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their children.

Now, how many do they teach in a day... maybe 30? So that's $19.50 X 30 students = $585.00 a day. However, remember they only
work 180 days a year! I am not going to pay them for any vacations.

Let's see . . .. that's $585 x 180 days = $105,300 per year. (Hold on! My calculator must need batteries!)

What about those special teachers and the ones with master's degrees? Well, we could pay them minimum wage just to be fair, round it off to
$7.00 an hour. That would be $7 times 6-1/2 hours times 30 children times 180 days = $245,700.00 per year.

Wait a minute, there is something wrong here!

There sure is, duh!

Make a teacher smile; send this to someone who appreciates teachers! (I DO!!!)

(Average teacher salary $50,000/180 days = $277 per day/30 students = $9.23/6.5 hours = $1.42 per hour per student.) Very inexpensive
babysitter and they even educate your kids! Crazy!

A collegue got this last June and when she first starting reading this I was like what?? minimum wage, and then at then end I was wondering where all of our money is! Especially with these budget cuts that the NYCBOE is giving our schools.
