Well, its known that teachers are paid horrible. Some of the teachers i know, shouldnt even be paid as much as they do. They get paid, what... around 30,000 a year. They do what they love, and get paid crap for teaching 'future america'. So, what do you guys think of this crap?

We live in a world where a few pretty boys who lip sync to song they didn't write can make millions upon milions of dollars but a teacher has to struggle to make ends meet. Something is wrong with that picture.

Also, nowadays teachers are expected to basically raise the children. They can't really do much to stop a child's bad behavior either. I might be a teacher, but never at a public high school, maybe a private high school or at the college level, but too many people would get on my nerves at a public high school. I just wish some parents could do a better job raising their children.

Short answer: They should get paid more.

Teachers are paid based on how many years they've worked as a teacher, and their education level.

But yes, they're still paid too little.

They get paid to much! Alot of the teachers at Prescott don't even do anything. They write some notes (that they get from a book) on the board once a week or so, give assignments out of a book and than once a month they make up a test. Than they usually have students correct eachothers papers, so some of these teachers aren't doin jack sh!t. Oh yeah, and they do a little bit of talking, and than hand out the worksheets (that are USUALLY printed off by another company) or they just tell the students to read from a book and do the questions on a certain page.

There are some really good teachers that are deserving to make more, but there are also alot that deserve less.

However true that may be, David, they have to put up with us. Do you know how hard that is in itself? And generally, the really good teachers are the ones who teach the AP classes. Teaching is a lot harder than it looks.

Agreed, they do s*** for a job. As for the "lip syncers" they are entertainers, if they were found out to be "lip syncers" they're reputation would bomb. And you dont think that writer isnt making money, I bet hes making millions right with the group. wow. Thats reality for ya.

*Besides, what they do is a big risk. Who knows they could have put all the work and time in taking dance / singing lessons to not even produce a hit album..and even lose money.

*ps - teachers dont work in the summer, which people with "real" jobs do all year round, without weekends or breaks off?? that'll put a good chunk on your paycheck.

It seems like the less you do now days, the more you make

All athletes and everyone in Hollywood should ALL take a damn pay cut, they make WAAAY to much. How hard is it to act anyway? Even if it is sorta hard, you shouldn't make THAT much and the fame your getting is amazing aswell.

There are too many teachers who think of teaching as some "job" when it's really a calling. You have to have a strong drive to teach for you to be a decent teacher in my humble opinion.

With that said there are alot of very good teacher who are grossly under paid.

John brings up a good point, they pretty much attend their "work" as much as the students attend school. The average school, students attend 180 days. Teachers have a few extra days, but not many, at very most, 10 - 15 more days than the students, this means, the teachers only work a little over HALF of the days in a year!

So? They don't get paid for not doing work in the summer. Teachers get paid by a salary, and get paid the same amount every month. They can get paid less and have that paycheck in the summer as well.

Even if it's that much it's not enough to pay bills and rent. And I believe they start around $25,000/year.

The value of the US dollar had gone down so much, that their salary is insufficient enough to live a middle class life. But don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting you to respect those who have taught you to the best of their knowledge while putting up with your bulls***.

I understand how sucky it would be to be a teacher. I myself never get a single teacher a hard time in high school (back in middle school is a different story ).

Most teachers have a 2nd job though I think...
