The NEA data in the first link is accurate. So what the fuck is your point? Lol. Your point is that you have zero data that contradicts anything I said. Because there isn't any. Because I'm right. Thanks for helping make my case.
Now I don’t know about other job compensations, but I’d be willing to say that all other careers would look inflated in their wages if you included insurance and other things that most employers are required to offer/pay (which must be where you got 94k).
That's not inflated. That's compensation. You think it should be ignored? Here's what happens when you ignore it. A kindergarten teacher who gets $59k in salary and $35k in fringe benefits quits her job and accepts a job as director of a pre-k school because the salary is $65. Then she kills herself because you told her to ignore total compensation and that only salary is relevant and she doesnt get health insurance for the her family and her employer 401k match is worth 1/10 as much as her public pension, and she has less take home pay because she had to contribute, and she gets no paid sick days or personal leave so she can't go to her husband's funeral because she'll lose more money. Her total compensation is $70×instead of $94 because you told her some bullshit about "inflated" teaxher pay.
Calling it a part-time job is insulting, btw.
It's not an insult. It's a well established fact. I posted sources. You have shit.
They burn out from the demands of developing their brains, challenging their beliefs of the world, and struggling to overcome adversities and failure. That’s not including the ones who experience true adversity of only eating food when they go to school because parents can’t provide it.
That's right. Teaching would be a full time job if it wasn't a part time job!
I spent my entire prep yesterday (45min) gathering student info and behavior notes to call home and tell them their kids were being assholes in class (obviously not literally saying that). I didn’t get to make any of the lesson materials I needed to, catch up on grading, or even prep my room for the rest of the day.
You were paid well for that prep period.
No, instead of doing teaching things I was a surrogate parent: relaying the information that this kid is disrupting everyone’s ability to learn and that I can’t do my job effectively if it continues. (I’ll save you the cliffhanger: 3 in 5 usually will improve, while the others get taught that they can keep interrupting class because parents don’t bring consequences at home).
What the fuck does this have to do with compensation or contract length? I'm not your therapist. You're just making shit up to argue about because you can't contradict any of my facts.
