Excellent job governor.

Anyway this teacher has an extremely overrated view of herself and how much she should earn. She works 9 months a year, barely full time job in these nine months, she has over 6-7 weeks vacation/holidays during those nine months, and 3 full month summer vacation, and she expects to be paid $ 83,000 a year? What here education anyway? Master degree in some silly non scientific major?

When a teacher boasts of a master’s degree—ask “in what subject?” If they tell you “education” feel free to scoff. That is so different from “Math” “Biology” or even “French.” There is no dumber bunch of slackers than PhDs in education.

Her masters degree certainly wasn’t in business or math. If she wants $3/hr for each of the 30 students and admits it would total $83,000 annually then she would only be expected to book 922 hrs on the clock. That’s only about half what a typical full-time, 40 hr/week worker books with holidays and vacation taken into account. Myself and most of the managers and top staffers I work with are salaried exempt (no overtime) and are booking 3x her hrs.

I imagine her Master’s is in Education. While I really like Christie, I do feel sorry for those people who have spent tens of thousands on their degrees....Unfortunately, a degree isn’t what it used to be.

To be clear, teachers work 180 days per year while others work an average of 250 (5 days per week X 50 weeks with 2 weeks vacation).
