Break it down BY CONTRCT HOUR...
The wife makes just a tad over $70.
That’ll shut these people up pretty quick.
So do some of us already working full time jobs for a LOT less. And since we can’t call it quitters by 3:30 in the afternoon or so nor do we get summers and long holidays off, there is no way we can work second jobs and keep our day job.
Then leave school.
They got to live within their means.
Stop giving money to liberal causes.
Are the pension and health benefits considered in that figure or is it just the salary. My guess the latter. IOW, they are pulling down about 100K when non taxable earnings are considered. Not bad.
I don’t have a problem with teachers working a second job. My high school math teacher ran a detasseling crew during the summer.
I am all for this. It is industrious.
And yet, the minimum wage still isn’t $15/hr....even for 2000 hours a year (if a fry slinger could get that many hours with that new wage) that’s just $30,000.... how can they live on that? How can they find the time to advance themselves? How can they see a step increase without a corresponding decrease in hours? How can they even hope to get a full-boat (with medical) retirement?
Where is the EQUITY? Teachers working 9 months a year making $80,000 a year and the poor hash slingers we hope don’t spit in our burgers only getting something way less than $30K? No medical, no summer baycation, no professional enrichment, Where is the effing EQUITY?
I guess that’s why we probably don’t see teachers at the local fast food place during lunchtime.
My heart really bleeds for these teachers.
Contact hour?
So maybe they should just stop watching TV?
I did detasseling in high school to pay for my school clothes because the government’s pay for military personnel stunk!
How is it that $80,000 isn’t enough for working so few days?
Well, good for them. My high school biology teacher was inspired to start what is now a highly successful health products company by doing something similar.
FWIW, in those days ALMOST ALL teachers worked during the summer or after hours to supplement their nine months per year income. And, for the most part, we had better and more qualified teachers. The duds found other professions where they could work less and pay more.
Sadly, so did some of the superior ones like my high school biology teacher. But even he is serving society in a far better way now. And I'll bet his compensation reflects it.
I meant Contract Hour. Damn Ipad...
None of your business. So shut up & gimme yer paycheck.
It isn't enough because it is less than they want. Liberal logic.
$87,000 for 37 weeks work, or approx $109,000 for 50 weeks.
Shannon Williams had a “2nd job” and was arrested because of it.

Unfortunately Shannon passed away from a brain tumor this year. She was 48 years old. She was arrested for prostitution in 2003. She lived in house in the Oakland hills area and she rented a studio apartment on the Oakland Rose Garden area with other women and they used it for prostitution.
My grandfather worked at summer camps, and then gave golf lessons when he was older.
Benefits are not figured in for sure.
For example, I just had my 6 month teeth cleaning/checkup this am. However, because I had a crown put in about 4 months back, I was told that my insurance coverage for this year had been maxed out for the year. Therefore, I would need to pay the dentist the $149.00 out of pocket.
