Just Stop It!!

you guys are always trying to play the comparison game of teachers' salaries versus the "everyman's salary". "...to compare a teacher's salary to a 12 month salary you need to divide the salary by 10 and then multiply by 12..." give me a break! the truth of the matter is this, that teachers make the money over ten months but what they make annually is what it is, period. you compared 71,000 made in 10 months to 85,000 for 12, right? 85,000 divided by 12 is about 7,100 per month while 71,000 divided by 12 is around 5,900 monthly. do the math, that's 1,200 less monthly, 300 less weekly (4 week month), 10 less daily. also note that if a teacher is making this much money he or she is pretty near or in the twilight of their career. also, the salaries compared is in stark contrast to the hours that each faction puts in. in the private sector or almost any other career field for that matter at the end of the day the job stops, however teachers know they are looking at about 3 hours more, at the least, with lesson planning, parental phone calls, and grading assignments but are not getting paid for it (at least in other career fields there is overtime), and dont forget teachers are doing this and more for YOUR CHILDREN. so please stop cryin' the blues about educators. dont forget it was these same educators who taught you how to read, write, compute, reseach, and to think critically about issues and look how you are using the skill sets taught to you..its such a shame.
