Got this in an email...and we make too much money!!!

> Their hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work nine or ten months a year! It's time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do... baby-sit!
>
> We can get that for less than minimum wage. That is right. I would give them $3.00 dollars an hour and only the hours they worked, not any of that silly planning time.
>
> That would be $19.50 a day (7:45 AM to 4:00 PM with 45 min. off for lunch).
>
> Each parent should pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their children.
>
> Now, how many do they teach in a day... maybe 30? So that's 19.5 X 30 = $585.00 a day. However, remember they only work 180 days a year! I am not going to pay them for any vacations.
>
> Let's see . . . that's $585 x 180 = $105,300 per year. (Hold on! My calculator must need batteries!)
>
> What about those special teachers and the ones with master's degrees? Well, we could pay them minimum wage just to be fair, round it off to $7.00 an hour. That would be $7 times 6-1/2 hours times 30 children times 180 days = $245, 700.00 per year.
>
> Wait a minute, there is something wrong here!
>
> There sure is, duh!
>
> Make a teacher smile; send this to someone who appreciates teachers! (Average teacher salary $50,000/180 days = $277 per day/30 students = $9.23/6.5 hours = $1.42 per hour per student.) Very inexpensive babysitter and they even educate your kids! Crazy!
