Teachers Need More Respect!

 A friend of my GF's posted the statement below on Facebook and I shared it on my page and honestly I wanted to push it one further because really, The teachers in this country need the support and backing they deserve. They put up with more shit than anyone else and are poorly respected by our children and but most parents.  
  The teachers are the ones who will make your kids into the knowledgeable adults they will become. Parents can't educate their kids to be successful, schools can. But how can teachers teach if they can't even have access to the tools that are needed?  Below is a great, though generalized way of looking at the way most teachers are paid, but they should be paid and respected more then people treat them. My sister is a teacher. Two of my cousins are teachers! Most of my college friends are Teachers! Teachers make the future better for our kids because they prepare their minds to handle the information thats coming towards them.




Are you sick of high paid teachers? Teachers’ hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work 9 or 10 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’s right. Let’s give them $3.00 an hour and only the hours they worked; not any of that silly planning time, or any time they spend before or after school. That would be $19.50 a day (7:45 to 3:00 PM
with 45 min. off for lunch and plan — that equals 6 1/2 hours).

Each parent should pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their children.

Now how many do they teach in day…maybe 30? So that’s $19.50 x 30 = $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= $105,300 peryear. (Hold on! My calculator needs new batteries).

What about those special education teachers and the ones with Master’s degrees? Well, we could pay them minimum wage ($7.75), and just to be fair, round it off to $8.00 an hour. That would be $8 X 6 1/2 hours X 30 children
X 180 days = $280,800 per year.

Wait a minute — there’s something wrong here! There sure is!

The average teacher’s salary (nation wide) is $50,000. $50,000/180 days = $277.77/per day/30 students=$9.25/6.5 hours = $1.42 per hour per student–a very inexpensive baby-sitter and they even EDUCATE your
kids!)

WHAT A DEAL!!!!


  Seriously, Teach your kids to respect their teachers, because if you don't how will the teachers be passionate about teaching your kid. Would you want to deal with a kid that doesn't show you respect?? IF your kids don't respect you, how will they show respect to anyone else??
