Teachers here get an annual salary for working 9 months a year, or about 180 days a year, they get weeks off for thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, summer, etc. They and their families get full medical benefits paid 100%, retirement, etc. If they want more money, they should work in the summer. Oh, teachers here top out at over $100,000.00 per year. For 180 work days! And yes, I know, it’s a hard job. But they are NOT underpaid.
Wrong bud... you must not know any teachers... I wish I could see 100 k as a teacher but that's what administrators make not teachers
I’m sure it depends on where you live, but my main point was they don’t work a full year and you should take that into consideration when you look at their wages.
I was going to say… my sister is a teacher and during those months of school she is working waaaaaaay more hours than I am with my regular full time job. During the peak of covid insanity she was nearly working 24 hours a day because of how they handled the online school in her district. And she makes less than I do overall and I do NOT have an incredible job or anything.
That was a crazy situation, not the norm. but they still only work 180ish days a year. How many days a year does any other full time employee work? With full benefits and retirement. I’m very familiar with school district pay and benefits. Granted Covid was terrible.
No. It was just worse then. Also… they work more days than the kids go to school. And I don’t know who you think runs the summer schools but… it’s the teachers.
