"What Teachers Make"

[coolerdoncooper]

Who's this televangelist? Oh poor baby, you work outside the office? God, nobody else has to do that do they? Now that's not fair, boo boo boo. You're complaining about your job? Then get a different job, that's what others do, boo boo boo. You want people to thank you for doing your job? Who doesn't but my boss has never come over to pat me on the back and I don't cry like a baby, boo boo boo. Baby want a nipple? What a joke. Grow up.

@coolerdoncooper Actually, the author of the poem isn't complaining of his job. He's responding to someone else saying that teachers don't make much money and, therefore, are not worth much. So I don't think he's crying that no one appreciates him as much as responding to an unprovoked attack.

@coolerdoncooper You didn't watch it, did you... yeah... I didn't think so. Clearly, you didn't have a teacher like Taylor Mali.

Most teachers, at least in America SUCK. not just their teaching skills, but their complete selfish stuck up attitude, and their ability to not know half of the shit they're supposed to be TEACHING. screw you people, either get a real job, or drop out of whatever shit union you're in and go learn something, then apply for a job at a private school where there is actual incentive to push you into doing something well, instead of doing it to live well.

@daPlumber702

Wow. You're a fool. Or at least I assume so, based on your foolish comment.

@daPlumber702 Judging from what you wrote and how you wrote it, it's painfully obvious that you most likely failed your teachers, and not the other way around. Either way, "daPlumber," *many* of us are happy and pleased with our teachers and the education we worked hard to receive. It's funny how only the ignorant ones complain about the very system they failed. My advice to you in your own words, "screw you... go learn something"-- I suggest basic grammar and critical thinking.

[daPlumber702]

@j1n1i14 ok... would have been a much better insult were I to have actually made grammatical errors. Would be much better if I had made them all over. Unfortunately you just fail...

I taught for 20 years. We do make a difference. Now I still teach in the medical field, one on one, still making a difference and still helping others. The hours involved in teaching are long. Walk in a teacher's shoes for a week and you would be dropping from exhaustion. Even the more experienced teachers put in the long hours (at least the good ones do because they keep developing their craft).

[voyager202000]

Teachers are the most underrated profession. They work in sometimes dangerous conditions and can still reach those that others say are unteachable! So well said Taylor!!!!!!

Interesting video!!

[MegaPikachu100]

teacher salaries are rising because the government is finally realizing that teachers are important. and let's be honest. teachers taught every single celebrity. Teachers deserve more recognition than anyone, sure firefighters and police men are brave, but who taught them? Teachers.

How ironic that the person who made this video can't spell :-)

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, public school teachers earned $34.06 per hour in 2005, 36% more than the hourly wage of the average white-collar worker and 11% more than the average professional specialty or technical worker. The fact is that teachers are better paid than most other professionals.

[daPlumber702]

@nawonda7 35 dollars an hour and you're complaining.. eat a fat dick.

[magicalpj]

Keep in mind that a teacher teaches for 5 hours a day, not 8. That $34.06/hr comes out to be about $44,000/yr.

Not too shaby to be sure, but when you consider the extra work a teacher needs to do outside of the classroom for prep work, that $34.06 figure starts to go down. Most teachers teach 2 or 3 different classes. I sometimes spend upwards of 3 hours preparing for one day of a single class.

When you factor in the amount of education needed to teach, the money we make is not too great.

[daPlumber702]

@markv33 sad that your statement was to true to be deemed worthy of being shown on this page. Bunch of pansies are afraid of looking like the thieving bitches they are.
