School teachers!?
How many of you throw gobs of your paycheck back into your classroom because you feel like you are not being provided with all the resources you need to conduct class in a more than simply adequate manner? Can you estimate a percentage of your monthly income (no dollar amounts) that goes back into your classroom?
Upstate,
For the record: A typical laborer puts in eight hours for eight dollars an hour and goes home with nothing else to worry about. By way of comparison, a teacher puts in eight hours in school, then another six hours or so at home grading, planning and filling out paperwork. By the way, no teacher gets three months off. The typical school year ends in mid june and starts in mid august. Where's the three months? I only see two. Also, if you worked fourteen hours a day for not much more than 35 grand, you would DEMAND those two months off.
Do the math: 10 months at 20 working days a month, 14 hours a day, earning 35 grand salary. That works out to $12.50 an hour.
Overcompensated? I bet you make more than that! And to put up with children's attitudes, school violence, bureaucracy, parents harassing you? I think the pay should be substantially HIGHER.

And how many of the rest of you feel you are overcompensated for your eight month a year 6 hour a day jobs, and still shake down your students for extra money to buy lotto cards?

About 10-15% at least.
