What has this world come to??

Quote from Arnie Guitar:

If you guys think it's such a great gig, you should have pursued it.

All I'm hearing is sour grapes and envy.

My wife is one. And my sister-inlaw. They LOVE it. They agree that the compensation is grand.
 
Quote from ElCubano:

while i dont know the numbers ( insurance and all the other crap u put up )..your rough guess is way off...they dont get 42k they get 32k, I dont care how u want to divide it...they have the option of getting it over 12 months or over 9 months...and dont forget a teachers job ( at least one that is doing his/her job correctly which is what we want for our kids ) doesnt stop at school. id say the package is more like 38k with insurance...and im sure they know how bad they have it...for most leave the job for a higher paying one and others are picketing to get more...im only referring to dade county...which is where i live...

They still only work 9 months though. Not bad.

Maybe my numbers are off for FL. I`m ignorant to ins costs in FL. But in NY a family of 3 is paying at least 1500.00 monthly for a GOOD package.

The average teaching salary in Dade County is 42k a year. Plus bennies. Plus a VERY seductive retirement package. A fortune? Hardly. A slap in the face? No way. Not when the average household in Dade is only earning $37,000. How many women who are working the sales counter at Dillards, or waiting tables, or toiling 40 hours a week as secretaries are going to retire on 75% of their last pay check? I'd say somewhere around zip.

Roughly:

$10,000 spent on each child: local, state, fed money.

30 students per classroom

$10k X 30= $300,000 spent per classroom.

$50,000 for a teacher's salary and benefits.

$300,000 - $50,000= $250,000.

Where does the rest of that $250,000 per classroom go? Administration?
