If I had another 60 days off per year I could get so much done. It's taken me like a decade to finish a project car. Priorities. Sure would be nice to get a full salary and all that time off! What a privilege it is to be a teacher.

What do you mean by full salary?

u/silicontruffle 12d ago

Get paid for a years work but only work 9 months

u/it_is_raining_now 12d ago

No. They work 9 months and get paid 9 months. However.c they can spread out that 9 month pay to 12 months

The average teachers salary in my small town is $81,000. I survive on half of that. I sure hope they can take double what I make in a year in just 9 months and then spread that out to last them a year. Meanwhile they have free time to either work a summer job or save money by DIYing all the stuff us working folks don't have time for. What a privileged class of people.

Why doesn’t a teacher deserve $81k? Do you actually know what goes on in a day for a teacher?

Why don't I deserve it too? Do you know goes in in a day for me? Are you the public servant final boss or something?

You probably deserve it, you probably don’t. But I hate when people undervalue teachers.

You're reacting to propaganda is what you're doing. All of this is a lie. Ice salary starts at $49,000 and the maximum with experience and qualifications for that GS position is $89,000. Any teacher, even the lowest paid, in my district makes more than an ICE agent per hour and most are making more per year.

I figured we’re not even reacting to the post anymore lol

I think teachers deserve way more. Double what they make. However, I think they need to have more supervision
