Default The Myth of the Underpaid Government Teacher

My Backward-Classroom

by Jeremiah Dyke

Come, peek inside my classroom and witness its vast array of inefficiencies

Witness as my students slave over long division and fraction addition with hundred-year-old technologies, while those rectangular calculating instruments are sitting forgotton on our dusty shelves. Soon the teaching will begin as will the daydreaming, yet maybe I will play foolish games today in order to keep my students' attention. After all, is it not common to employ individuals who have a graduate education to play computation bingo and other math games 180 days a year? Surely no one devoid of six years of education is capable of playing games like these, cloaked under the rubric of learning.

For the amount of work I do my salary is more than sufficient but sometime this week I may swing by the teacher lounge so that I can hear how dreadful we educators have it. I am contracted to work 180 days a year for nearly $40,000. After my two personal days and at least five sick days I will only have worked 173 days. Of course, we must factor in at least a week's worth of snow day cancellations or delays, about six early release days, five assemblies, three field trips and numerous teacher work days. All in all I probably work 160 days a year for 40,000 dollars or roughly $31 dollars an hour (40,000/160days/8hours). Yet, since my day only involves four one-hour classes of teaching, lunch, study hall (shut up and read time) and planning period (listen to radio time) my hourly figure should probably be adjusted upward. Nevertheless, enough about me, on to my students

My typical classroom consists of 15 average Joes, 3 gifted kids and 3 Forest Gump’s (thanks to no child left behind). The 3 gifted kids provide copying opportunities to at least six average Joes who exploit them to their fullest. In return, the gifted kids may be allowed to sit at their lunch table or be picked to play football during gym or recess. The Forrest Gump’s provide plenty of laughing stock for the rest of the class as well as add an outlier into the curriculum pace. This works out well for them, for they get to pick their nose while staring into space, have their emotions tested by their peers, all so that they can sit in the same classroom under the label "normal."

Grading is easy. No one is allowed a grade under 50 percent. So, you may do half of your homework (50%), turn in your homework late (50%) or not do your homework (50%). The same applies for quiz or test grades. Therefore, a child need only do 10% of the work in a year in order to receive a passing grade of 60%, though this is too much for some and thus we must pay teachers additional money to teach them over the summer. Yet, times are tough. This year our district didn’t possess the funding to pay teachers to teach summer school, so, we just passed everyone!

My supervisors are numerous and their oversight is always felt. I am frequently observed by my principal, assistant principal, team lead, school math dean, district math dean, state dean of mathematics, the instructional specialist, and, on occasion, school board members and though they all give me contradicting advice (more games, less games, etc.), they truly only care about the end of the school year state test. As long as a specific percentage of my kids pass their SOL test (and it is my job to find out who those "golden kids" are and to devote the majority of my attention to them) they are happy.

This my friends is the unearthly inefficient system of public schools.

True, teachers are overpaid for the amount of education related work that they do (my father used to joke and say that I was paid to photocopy and recycle lesson plans ).

But on a more serious note, teachers actually deserve more remuneration for the shit they have to take from niggers, etc. Weapons, booze, fights--all in class! More men are needed in the profession, but they don't remain in education for long (apart from the effeminate ones), because they correctly see that teachers have no power or authority. Education has become a pink ghetto.

Teachers know what they're getting into when they start out as education majors. They say they want more money when they knew the salary structure going in. They also resolutely resist any attempt to hold them to teaching standards. It would be good for Whites if government schools were dissolved and the Department of Education shuttered.

I don't think they anticipate the behavioral problems; if they're smart, they learn how to remove problem niggers. If they are smarter, they teach in the private system where contumacious muds and classroom management issues are rare.

I would have agreed with this until I saw the school system here in Montana. The average wage of a teacher here is under 30,000$ a year and they work really hard, bringing in things from home and spending a huge amount of time before and after school coaching and helping the kids for no extra pay. The kids are 98% white, and of mainly Scandinavian ancestry and shooting spitwads is about as bad as they get so I think the teachers really enjoy themselves.

Sounds like heaven. It all boils down to demographics. Muds shouldn't be allowed to look at White people, let alone sit in the same room with them, pretending to be equal.

Teachers are on the frontlines in this multicultural nightmare. The vast majority are liberal useful idiots.

The median salary of a teacher in my area is over $70,000. Many make close to $100,000. Our area is economically devastated, unemployment is in double digits, the average household income is less than $40,000...and the teachers unions still bitch about being underpaid....and they strike every 3 years.

Property and other essentials are cheaper than in California where you used live though, right? I guess a better question is can a teacher making 30k make it where you live?

You know what the biggest problem really is with education? Most people I know aren't interested in learning, period. It's very frustrating to me.

I got a friend who needs a girlfriend, he lives in a city with lots of Russian immigrant babes (not all jewesses either). He could get the Pimsleur course, maybe some college materials, and I could give him excellent Russian language lessons by telephone for 15 minutes a night. He'd have good conversational Russian in about a year, and get himself a smoking hot Russian babe no problem. He works for himself, has ample money and free time, and did some Russian language in college, and he's a wicked bookworm, and has expressed a desire to learn Russian, but when it's time to implement, well, it doesn't happen.

Most people I know are horribly lazy. You don't need educational institutions to learn, except in the case of science labs. Some things definitely need instructors, like learning violin. Learning a foreign language is possible largely with Pimsleur, though at some point you need to have access to someone who is fluent in the target language.

With math there are free tutors on the Internet. No joke. StraighterLine University offers coursework for 99 dollars a month. You can CLEP college courses, just take the exam and get the credit.

I think there will be a downsizing of the edjewkashunal industry, and those who really want to learn will autodidactisize.

The point is that people live here on less because they want to live here. Many people, ourselves included, learn to live without cell phones, second cars or vacations in order to live in this area around lots of other white folks. They will even admit it if you catch them right.

In my area, teachers are really underpaid. They only get $300 a month. But take note, I'm not from the United States. A lot of times, teachers here complain and sometimes go on strike if the government doesn't do something to increase their income.

Teachers initial pay sucks. It is part of the system so that they can cry 24/7 about being underpaid. As soon as the union dues are paid, the time is put in, and the teacher demonstrates herself to be a good little ZOGBot soldier (take down the Christmas tree and invite the Holocaust "survivors" enough) the pay increases.

They can get a "Master's Degree" in teaching people to fingerpaint and rigging state exams. Pay increase. Seniority pay increases. If they get enough rigging into a test they can get performance pay. They can get tenure.

A middle school or high school teacher in Wisconsin, with the average and median salaries, is about 50 grand and yet they protest and strike and demonstrate 24/7. They make 50 grand a year to "work" 160 days a year and they make buffoons and asses out of themselves whenever a Republican NaziFascistUnion-Buster (tm) gets elected.

1999, knew a married couple 55, and 57, both retired as the state system was changing because of extreme abuse in the retirement set up.

In 1999, I was told by some one who snitched them, because they had big months, so it 7,500 per month.

Plus they were lousy teachers and humans to boot.

www.deliberatedumbingdown.com link fixed.

I knew a decent couple who graduated from a State college "Education Pogrom" and because they were decent they only lasted two years, and resigned, they told me the faculty was too much for them, not the children.


P.S. the Masters Pogrom for schools teacthers is scam to justify more money.

Schools teachers as a whole have issues.

today's teachers are just paid to indoctrinate kids with liberal bullshit.

they're not worth a carrot.

Administrators are far overpaid too. When I was on the local school board, the LA Unified School District discovered they had someone making over $100K a year for choosing the hot dogs that were served in the district.

This was about 10 years ago, and many raises have been given in the districts that can afford to give them. Our district was cutting things then, and has continued to do so through today.

Teachers earn their money the most, in my opinion. In most areas $40K a year is the minimum one can survive on, and in some areas is considered 'poverty wages' as the average is at least twice that.

It is important to remember that mandatory public education was initiated at gunpoint.

It should be pointed out the government workers (even white ones) as a voting block vote consistently against interests of white people.

yes.

most social worker types (which is what teachers really are) will vote democrat for two reasons.......because they believe they are progressive, and because their pay check depends on it.

teacher = official scrounger, bleeding heart liberal, or both.
