I know what I signed up for--so I wont bitch about how much I make. I accept it, and I'm actually fine with it.
BUT I work A LOT more than 40 hours a week (which is all I'm paid for). Just saying.
By your dismissive tone regarding my incorrect attribution of that number, it certainly implied that you thought it was ludicrously high. .
Nothing was implied. You made an asinine assumption.
The proof is in the pudding as the kids are successful. The vast majority go onto further schooling. I think the number that have joined the military upon graduating the past 5 years can be counted on 1 hand. ...
Choosing to serve the country in the military sounds pretty damn successful to me.
Reading your posts, it is clear that your standards for success are not terribly high.

judge not less ye be judged. what are you worth? as much as you can get? and your gang tries to take as much as it can get. so does the teachers gang. what's the problem? you are forced to pay for insurance? but you can shop around? oh well, sour grapes. go spend some time with today's crazy self centered youth and see how much you want to be paid. no i'm not a teacher as you can see by the spelling and not in union. so save those two for some one else. we should all be judging each other much more equally and honestly. i don't think some one selling me bad stock or bonds on the free market should make millions as millions lose their homes because of their swindles. that's a dishonest and unwary living off other's misery. but do you hear me crying?
Teachers are underpaid.
The fact is that:
. . . teachers actually do quite well for themselves when you consider the economic realities of their profession.XXXXXThen there is the matter of demand — or lack of it. According to Andrew Coulson at the Cato Institute, since 1970 the public-school workforce has roughly doubled, from 3.3 million to 6.4 million (predominately teachers), while over the same period, the enrollment of children rose by only 8.5 percent — or a rate that was 11 times slower. Recently, the National Council on Teacher Quality found that schools are training twice as many elementary-school teachers as they need every year.
With this kind of surplus, the question we really should be asking is: How are teachers’ salaries so high?

This is the secret Democrats guard like Fort Knox. Open-borders will increase the education industry’s tax dollar funded customer base by tens of millions which converts to hundred of billions paid to the economic and intellectual foundation of the parasite class. And that is on top of the tens of billions of tax dollars education industry parasites already get. In precise terms the salaries of everybody in the education industry from teachers to bloated administrative staffs to building maintenance personnel will further enrich the government middle class at the same time it destroys the private sector.
It’s for children is the lie that feeds the myth.
if teachers don't like the pay then why do they go to school to get jobs as teachers Unkatare ?? Teachers are s'posed to be smart but getting a [supposedly] low paying job as a teacher doesn't sound very smart to me . Maybe teachers oughta get jobs where they like the pay scale !!
x + y = bs going to school to learn how to hide the truth in a court of law, which is what lawyers are presently paid for. Lawyers legally drawing up laws against the people they are meant to protect is also bullshit and shall fall to the truth of God's laws. Those going to learn banking, wall street economics, that was suppose to help people wisely invest in growing companies for the benefit of them and others with in that company, as corporations were first established and charged to do, has now come to serve a chosen few. those few have chosen the wrong path and you all followed blindly. now we shall pay for our stupidty and sloth

You think a 6 to 8 year old kid should be able to eat whatever they want? This has been many school districts approach for years, hot dogs, french frys, and ice cream. What kid is going to select fresh salads and fruits instead candy bars and soda pops. I understand your point about government control of our lives, but that's exactly what young kids need in schools, not freedom of choice.
I work a lot more than 40 hours a week, it's called salary, you do what you need to do to get the job done.
At face value these two statements seem to be contradictory. You say you are paid by the hour and then say you are only paid for 40 hours per week yet work "A LOT" more than 40 hours.
Mind posting the school district and state you work in. I'd like to verify that?

Teachers work around 2/3 the hours of other professionals and they get around 2/3 of the pay
Seems about right
