I'm fed up with high school teachers and their big salary schedules. What we need is to reevaluate their salaries.
I think I’ll pay these teachers myself. I'll pay them day camp counselor wages. That's right! Instead of paying these outrageous taxes; I'd give them $3 an hour out of my own pocket. And I'm only going to pay them for five hours, not lunch or coffee breaks. That would be $15.00 a day. Each parent should pay $15 a day for these teachers to monitor their teenager. Even if they have more than one teenager, it's still a lot cheaper than private day camp programs.
Now, how many teens do they teach - maybe 100? That's $15x100=$1500 a day. But remember they only work 180 days a year! I'm not going to pay them for vacations! $1500 x180=$270,000. (Just a minute, I think my calculator needs new batteries.)
I know you teachers will say-What about those who have 10 years experience and a Master's Degree? Well, maybe (to be fair) they could get the minimum wage, and instead of just monitoring, they could let the teens write a story. We could round that off to about $7.50 an hour, times five hours, times 100 teens. That's $3750 a day times 180 days. That's $675,000....huh? (scratching my head) Wow! That's more than the U.S. President's salary of $400,000! Hmmm.....
Wait a minute; let's get a little perspective here. Day camp wages are too good for these teachers. Has anyone seen a salary schedule around here?
