<div style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" class=yiv1068456155s4><SPAN class=yiv1068456155s3>Teachers’ hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work 9 or10 months a year! It’s time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do – babysit!</SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" class=yiv1068456155s4><SPAN class=yiv1068456155s3>We can get that for less than minimum wage.</SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" class=yiv1068456155s4><SPAN> </SPAN></div>
<div style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" class=yiv1068456155s4><SPAN class=yiv1068456155s3>That’s right. Let’s give them $3.00 an hour and only the hours they worked; not any of that silly planning time, or any time they spend before or after school. That would be $19.50 a day (7:45 to 3:00 PM with 45 min. off for lunch and plan– that equals 6 1/2 hours).</SPAN></div>

<div style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" class=yiv1068456155s4><SPAN class=yiv1068456155s3>Each parent should pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their children. Now how many students do they teach in a day…maybe 30? So that’s $19.50 x 30 = $585.00 a day.</SPAN></div>

<div style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px" class=yiv1068456155s4><SPAN class=yiv1068456155s3>That’s $585 X 180= $105,300 per year. (Hold on! My calculator needs new batteries).</SPAN></div>

Well, we could pay them minimum wage ($7.75), and just to be fair, round it off to $8.00 an hour. That would be $8 X 6 1/2 hours X 30 children X 180 days = $280,800 per year.</SPAN></div>
