You might be a teacher if...
- You want to slap the next person who says, "Must be nice to have all your holidays and summers free."
- You can tell it's a full moon without ever looking outside.
- You believe "shallow gene pool" should have its own box on the report card.
- When out in public, you feel the urge to talk to strange children and correct their behavior.
- When you mention "vegetables" and you're not talking about a food group.
- You think people should be required to get a government permit before being allowed to reproduce.
- You wonder how some parents ever managed to reproduce.
- You can't have children of your own because there is NO name you could give a child that wouldn't bring on high blood pressure the moment you heard it.
- Meeting a child's parents INSTANTLY answers the question, "Why is this kid like this?"
Teachers Get Paid Too Much!
I'm fed up with teachers and their hefty salary guides. What we need here is a little perspective. If I had my way, I'd pay these teachers myself, and I'd pay them baby-sitting wages. That's right, instead of paying these outrageous taxes, I'd give them $3.00 an hour out of my pocket. And I'm only going to pay them for 5 hours, not coffee breaks or lunch. That would be $15.00 a day. Each parent should then pay $15.00 a day for these teachers to baby-sit his/her child. Even if they have more than one child, it's still a lot cheaper than private day care. Now how many children do they teach a day -- maybe twenty? That's $15.00 x 20 = $300 a day. But remember, they only work 180 days a year! I'm not going to pay them for all those vacations they get! So that is $300x 180 days = $54,000 (Just a minute, I think my calculator needs batteries.)
I know, now you teachers will say what about those who have ten years of experience or a Master's Degree? Well, maybe (to be fair) they could get the minimum wage, and instead of just baby-sitting, they could read the kids a story. We can round that off to about $5.00 an hour, times 5 hours, times 20 children. That's $500 a day times 180 days. That's $90,000...huh??? Wait a minute, let's get a little perspective on this. Did anyone see a salary guide around here?
