Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
teachers don’t have it as hard as they would like you to think. most of them just seem to be bad with money. They start earning about 40g a year(outside of florida of course) and they have roughly 5 months vacation time spread throughout the year.
Most teachers are just bad with money? I never knew that an occupational choice directly corresponded to fiscal responsibility.
But you should go find your grossly overpaid, financially irresponsible teachers and thank them for teaching you to read and write so that you can be an asshole on the internet.

I’ll tell you that Iowa ain’t one of those “teachers starting at $40,000/year” states. I’m not sure a teacher here would get there in 10 years…

I would love to make 40,000 a year, and would love it even more if my classroom was properly supplied, my students were well-fed and clothed, and I didn’t need to spend hundreds to thousands of my own money a year on things for my classroom and my students.

Ha….haha..BLAHAHAHHAHAHAHaaaaa…
I’m in Indiana, in one of the lowest-paying counties. I’m in my 5th year of teaching. I won’t hit 40,000 a year until my around my 10th year, only IF I finish my Master’s Degree. In our corp, a bachelor’s degree gets you 37k at MOST.
That time off? I use working another job, or working on my master’s degree.
Of course, let’s not get into what’s taken out for insurance and taxes……

WOW. I have no words for this. Angry!

I’m not one to complain about my salary or my job in general, but I work 6 weeks every summer, work with a difficult population and have a ton of debt (thanks to almost 3 years of grad school) that was pretty much required to land the position I have. Teaching isn’t like babysitting and anyone who tells you otherwise, isn’t doing their job!
I will admit that teachers at my school might be bad with their money… so bad that they actually voted so that some of our pay is withheld each week so that we get 4 pay checks on the last day of school so those who choose not to teach summer school don’t have to think about budgeting their money throughout the school year.
