Most people work approximately 230 days out of the year not counting being out sick for 8 hours a day which equates to 1840 hours. Teachers work approximately 180 days a year not counting being out sick for 6.5 hours a day which equates to 1170 hours a year. Plus you need to add in the staff meetings once a week that run about 1-2 hours long as well as open house for 2-3 hours and parent teacher conferences for 6 hours a year. So now you are at approximately 1240 hours a year, and don’t forget all the work, shopping for school supplies and phone calls to parents which all takes place after working hours. For argument sake lets add on 5 hours a week times 40 weeks for 200 more hours. Now they work 1440 hours a year. So they work 400 hours less a year than the average worker but when they are at work they are responsible for 20 plus children for those 6 ½ hours. Here is a new formula I think is fair to use to calculate their salaries.
Number of kids (23) x 6 ½ hours for 180 days at a low end babysitter rate of $10 per hour = $269,100 a year. High end babysitter $14 per hour = $376,740. So now they should be complaining that they are grossly underpaid!!!!!!!! The only way to get out of the economical mess is to educate the future of this country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a teacher just someone who understands reality.
