Teachers are paid too much! Im fed up with teachers and their hefty salaries for only 9 months work! What we need here is a little perspective. If I had my way, Id pay teachers babysitting wages.

Thats right. Instead of paying these outrageous taxes, Id give them $3.00 an hour. And, Im only going to pay them for 5 hours, not planning time. That would be $15.00 a day. Each parent should pay $15.00 a day for these teachers to baby sit their children. Even if they have more than one child, its still cheaper than private daycare.

Now how many children do they teach a day – maybe 20? Thats $15.00 x 20 = 300.00 a day. But remember, they only work 180 days a year! Im not going to pay them for all the vacations: $300.00 x 180 =$54,000. (Just a minute my calculator must need batteries.)

What will teachers say about those who have 10 years of experience and a masters degree? Well, maybe (just to be fair) they could get the minimum wage. We can round that off to about $6.00 an hour, times 5 hours, times 20 children. $6.00 x 5 x 20. Thats $600 a day times 180 days. Thats only $108,000.

Wait a minute! There is something wrong here…
