JB, your love of numbers, experience with teenagers, and affinity for precision would make you a great high school math teacher. Consider a career change.
I brought up my uncle as an example that there are MANY lawyers who work more than a 9-5 who aren't banking. Yes they chose their specific field, but its also a job that needs to be done. Much like teachers choose their specific field, a job that needs to be done. Nobody is forcing them to teach. So thats a dumb argument. If my uncle could have simply chose a different law path, well then a teacher could simply choose a better paying profession.
Here a novel thought. Let's raise property taxes and give some teachers raises, of course not based on merit, and get the same piss poor product at the end. There is no inflation, hey?
Yes, because MPS is the only public school system in Wisconsin. And it doesn't come with a host of other challenges that would be impossible for any public school system to fix.Cmon...

Those unions sure have gotten the public to pay for crazy-high benefits! Part-year job, but huge benefits
Still underpaid even with that
What should they be paid for this part-year work, and why the big diff between public school & private school comp?
Because of their importance to our society? Is that enough of a reason?
Public school teachers are more important than private school teachers and therefore are rightfully paid more is your stance? Why is that?Two eight grade teachers. But why the disparity in pay?
Teachers in private schools should be paid more as well. Probably even more
Ok. But why do private school teachers get paid less than their public school counterparts?
Turnover in private schools are severe so they probably should be paid more. But the main reason is that the working conditions are better. Smaller class sizes. More parental involvement.
Ahh. So private is better for the teachers (except if they want to be paid) and the kids. Wonder why that is. Heh
