100K a year to be a teacher in Wisconsin. Nice.

[Brilliant]

Where can I apply?

[A_Former_Democrat]

Benefits = 80% x salary ? And much of it non-taxable too . . disgusting

Especially considering the product they’re putting out now.

[big'ol_freeper]

Heck, they make as much as a Colonel in the U.S. Army.

[Clock King]

Reminds me of the teach who confronted Chris Christie complaining she couldn’t make it on her $83,000/year salary. These people are infused with an entitlement mindset...

8 month or so a year job. Plenty of holidays. Home by the afternoon.

Why do “public employees” deserve to make 2 and 3 x what private sector workers do?

Welcome to the pain that is post-U.S. 3rd world here we come...

Think it is easy? Think just anyone can so professionally destroy children’s natural inclination to learn? It isn’t! It takes a special person, and many of them, to year in year out destroy so many minds.

Anybody know how many days the kids in Milwaukee go to school each year?

Also anybody know how many hours kids in Milwaukee go to school each day?

Let’s see what the dollar per teaching hour looks like!!!

[Let's Roll]

And they only work 9 mos a year.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Don’t forget that they only work about 180 days a year while the rest of us work 240.

“Wisconsin Retirement System
State employees are covered immediately under the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS). Vested employee-required contributions, approximately 5% of an employee’s earnings, are made by the State on behalf of the employee. The State pays another 5-10%, depending upon the employee’s occupational status, toward the non-vested employer-required contribution.

For additional information on the WRS, please refer to the booklet entitled “Your Benefit Handbook”.

The average homeschooler is educated with less than $600.00 per year and scores at the 85th percentile on standardized tests. One salaried teacher giving up their career (for the kids) in WI would pay for over 200 kids to get a superlative education.

Thank God, I have been saying this for at least a decade and people have tried to make me feel like a uncaring bastard. All I have listened to was how poor teachers were, that state and federal workers get shafted. When I argued that they actually do ok with great retirement benefits and cheap or free health care, many don't pay social security, what a punk I was.

Now is the time to finally end this myth. When push comes to shove they will refuse to accept pay freezes, or small payments to help fund retirement and health care, they vote to watch others get laid off, then whine that the classrooms are too crowded.

Soon people are going to start placing the blame on kids not learning on the teachers who are charged with this responsibility. Imagine that...soon we might be able to blame the post ofice for losing 10B a year. Oh the times they are a changing...
