How much should teachers make?

Grayghost comments on Mar 3, 2019:

In an effort to piss off all you sports fans, I believe that a teacher should make more than ANY professional athlete. Shit they are just playing a game.

How much should teachers make?

linxminx comments on Mar 3, 2019:

Maybe this will help. Teachers in the US have to have a college bachelor's degree as a requirement for licensure. 36 states and DC also require their teachers to have a master's degree. The average teacher's salary K-12 falls somewhere between $54,000-$58,000. Salaries such as this equate more ...

@OHJim Actually they may have some of those holidays but they do always start at least a week before school goes back, and considering they work way more hours when school is on then I think they deserve the time off.

There are 2080 hours a year for a full time job. So how many hrs do teachers put in?

Jolanta replies on Mar 4, 2019:

You may think that after school is over that is it, however it is not so. Lessons have to be planned, essays marked, parents seen, phone calls made, etc, etc. So it is not black and white.

I have been told that aboriginals in NZ are much more integrated than aboriginals in other parts of the world. There is some evidence that moving to Proportional Representation increased both aboriginal’s and women’s participation in political decision-making.

Jolanta replies on Mar 4, 2019:

Yes it is true that they get integrated, however unfortunately there still is a lot of racism in NZ towards the natives from white New Zealanders.

I can tell you were so taken aback about her being a "christian" and not someone who wanted to flirt with you. What a bummer.

@Wurlitzer You should think more of yourself.

Jolanta replies on Feb 27, 2019:

@RobbyBlue48 Well, you need to take care of yourself and think why you let those buttons to be pushed, because there will always be people in this world who don't have the same opinion that you or me have. Personally I think life is too short to get too upset about what anybody else thinks about something or another.

Nope. Politicized.

Jolanta replies on Feb 27, 2019:

@BryanLV I think you missed what I said about politicians looking after us. You missed that I said they MEANT to look after everybody. Of course you living in the US that would be like talking to the wall, however there are places on this earth that politicians look after their countrymen and women, just no in the US.

Early morning, a bit of yoga, some breakfast and off I go. A new day to cherish.

Jolanta replies on Feb 26, 2019:

Politicized? Of course it is politicized, after all it is the politicians who are meant to look after all of us and make laws that are beneficial to all of us. So you think that oil, gas, mining companies and all the other poluters would regulate themselves and do the right thing for everybody?

Yes, I KNOW I said we'd be together until the end of time.

@Gooniesnvrdie No it's not but it seems like they come out of the woodwork for that completion but only there. One spots someone with a mullet maybe once or twice a year. Ugh puts me of my food.

No, the mullet is way worse. In Australia in a small country town that I do not even remember the name of there is the world mullet completion every year. They get a lot of people attending, both male and female. Brings business into the town.

Just spit-ballin' here, BUT, what if, once a guilty verdict has been reached, the convicted sexual predator just gets shot in the head? Like right there in the courtroom? That would go a long way to reduce recidivism. Victims would have closure, and would never need to fear their attacker ...
