Ok. Using this scenario. What is their pay for 9 months work divided into hourly wage. Let’s take a look at that and then contemplate wage disparity. 46 to 60 grand looks a lot better for 9 months work than 12

Google says that there is 2080 work hours in the year.

45,000 / 2080 = 21 dollars an hour. For 12 months work.

Ok. Let’s take 9 months.

2080 * .75 = 1,560 work hours for 9 months.

45,000 / 1,560 = 29 dollars an hour (rounded).

So newer educators are actually earning almost 30 bucks an hour for actual time worked. About the same as Dental Hygienists.

You are quoting contract language of the teachers. I’m quoting real world.

So we pay teachers with a degree the same way we pay people who get an associates degree.

I didn’t argue hourly wage I was simply pointing out how the pay works. You are correct in the math. If for example someone is on maternity leave, once their 10 days are used the pay is deducted at “daily rate of pay” based on number of hours worked, not 12 paychecks. Truthfully looking at hourly wage it’s not indecent pay. I was just explaining how it is paid. Many teachers coach or work another job if they want more.

I know many good teachers that work very hard in a system that is against them much of the time. Most are very quiet about what they do for a living because they are ashamed of the behavior of their coworkers or unions that pretend to represent them but do not. These are the ones that are in it for the right reasons. There are some. These people you would WANT teaching your children.
