If you guys think it's such a great gig, you should have pursued it. All I'm hearing is sour grapes and envy.
They still only work 9 months though. Not bad. Maybe my numbers are off for FL. I`m ignorant to ins costs in FL. But in NY a family of 3 is paying at least 1500.00 monthly for a GOOD package.
when you have a $10k day...im sure you dont multiply it and say you made $2mill for the year.... The best teachers are at home anyways...it all starts there..peace
The average teaching salary in Dade County is 42k a year. Plus bennies. Plus a VERY seductive retirement package. A fortune? Hardly. A slap in the face? No way. Not when the average household in Dade is only earning $37,000. How many women who are working the sales counter at Dillards, or waiting tables, or toiling 40 hours a week as secretaries are going to retire on 75% of their last pay check? I'd say somewhere around zip. http://www.firn.edu/doe/eias/eiaspubs/pdf/tchsal05.pdf http://www.broward.org/planningservices/bbtn37.pdf
Roughly: $10,000 spent on each child: local, state, fed money. 30 students per classroom $10k X 30= $300,000 spent per classroom. $50,000 for a teacher's salary and benefits. $300,000 - $50,000= $250,000. Where does the rest of that $250,000 per classroom go? Administration?
