Thank you for so eloquently covering additional topics that I ran out of room to address. I don't know if markv33's inaccurate remarks are simply a repeating of the same ignorant rhetoric teachers have been inflicted with for generations, or if they are byproducts of an unpleasant encounter he has had with a teacher. Either way, he needs to do some fact-checking, and I greatly appreciate your rebuttal of his teaching fantasyland.
Can you please tell me where to find this teaching fantasy job you describe? I'm obviously doing something wrong since, when you calculate time spent researching, preparing, differentiating, teaching, and grading (not to mention repeating these steps as necessary to reteach/reinforce), I literally make less than minimum wage. "Best health care options money can buy" . . . key words are "money can buy," which unfortunately I can't afford as a single parent on a teacher's salary . . .
Teachers make more than the average American income by a long shot! And that's for 9 months work. They have some of the best health care options money can buy. They are cool in the summer/hot in the winter. They get all the kids Vacations days in addition to the 3 mo. off in summer. They can retire with full benefits after only 20 years of service. They work day is from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. They get an average of 3to 4% raises every year, and talk about job stability... Lets keep it real!!!!
We get paid accordingly. We are contracted from 7:40am to 4:00pm. I get to school at 7am and leave at 6pm. Our raises parallel most inflation rates. We spend a great deal of our own money to educate your children. There are teachers in my building who are unable to support their families on their salary alone. I couldn't do it without my husband, and we live conservatively. We must have a bachelor's degree at minimum. And you are dead wrong about our retirement. U get real!
