$43,287
I think that is close to what teachers in my community make per year.
bu then they have that great vacation schedule
and the joy of working with youth
and such beautiful surroundings
( outside the aging classrooms)
they had to fight this year for a raise
I am glad they have a contract, and glad my kids get a decent education.
who else makes $43,287.00?
an unremarkable ball player who hits lots of home runs but
teaches nothing about team work, or responsibility, or fairness.
One who will need to hide behind his lawyers for the rest of his days.
One small man, a Giant, if you will, makes $43,287 today,
and every day this year,
even when he is on vacation.
yes, there IS something wrong with that.

- I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us. My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years. I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask. Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.

Our whole society is so messed up in our priorities. We will pay a ball player millions. Those to whom we entrust the education of our children, the future of our children we pay nothing in comparison.
It was nice to hear from you again.

That is truly insane. Teachers should get bonuses for good performance. Ball players should have to scratch for every single raise.
and you don't want to know what football coaches in colege make...
NO - you don't!
all because thay bring in the TV money.
This is a crazy world...
Michele sent me this time, David. HI!!!
I think there is something wrong with that, too. I also think that outstanding teachers should be commended even more & that we should study their methods to pass on to future generations of teachers. Maybe we should give some teacher a really successful TV show. How much did people like Mr. Wizard or Mr. Rogers make???
I "Stumbled" this conversation as I think it is very interesting & very important. :-)
