List of the most overpaid “educators” in South Carolina. No wonder they keep re-electing Linda Graham. I was surprised he wasn’t black though, as most of the rest of them on the list are.
Is it just me, or do those screams for more money “for the children” sound rather hollow after a while?
I hear all these stories about dedication to the children, “Yes, it was my lifetime calling. I couldn’t do anything else it meant so much to me to dedicate my life to the children.”
Gag me with a pitchfork.
In education, I’m sorry but it seems to me in excess of $100k is simply that, excessive.
How do you justify to yourself, the extra $25, $50, $100, or more thousand dollars that comes out of the education fund, is not taking away from service to help those kids?
It’s a government job. Government funds should be spend judiciously. If you can’t live off $100k, then find another profession, and let someone who is actually dedicated to the kids take your place.
As for outside income, aren’t you being paid to be a full time educator or administrator? Then spend your time doing just that. At night, spend your time thinking of ways to improve things at the job you’re being paid to do.
If you’re sapping your strength to fulfill another job, you’re shortchanging the first job. Your creativity is being sapped for your own advancement. That isn’t right.
If you can’t live off the $100k, fine. Get another job that pays more.
