Posted by Steve on 11/29/07 Really, Public Schools suck? Let us be honest here. My wife is an elementary school teacher. She... I mean WE owe fifty thousand dollars in student loans. For the privilage of working at a public school she earns the handsome salary of thirty thousand dollars a year! We did the math and she works about two thousand two hundred and eighty hours a year. The average full time employee (working forty hours a week) works only two thousand and eighty hours a year. Yet, She is paid significantly less than a your avergae untrained/uneducated worker. If anyone is to be blamed for the failings of public education it is the incompetent overspoken citizens. No school, church or business can please everyone. The very thought that the teachers are to blame causes my blood pressure to rise. Why not raise the bar? Why not offer better total compensation to our public employees. In return the citizens can demand a higher level of service. Besides, class size does affect a teachers ability to perform. How long will it take for some people to realize the truth behind the phrase, "You get what you pay for". On 3/14/07, Donald Iarussi MBA/MFA wrote: > Your right , there is discrimination.
