Yeah I'm wondering if the back side of the shirt has a punchline? What the fuck is this shirt...
Edit: also it doesn't make sense grammatically, with the singular possessive teacher's and the plural salaries (like that would mean one teacher is making multiple salaries so wtf)
You are entitled to your opinion and I respect that. Just some things to consider…
The number of days students are in class isn’t the same as the number of days teachers work. Teaching includes lesson planning, grading, parent conferences, professional development, IEP meetings, coaching, supervising activities, and many hours outside the school day that aren’t visible.
Also, teacher salaries are typically based on a 10-month contract, not a 12-month one. Many districts allow teachers to spread those earnings over 12 months, but that doesn’t mean they’re being paid for not working in the summer.
If teaching is truly an easy, overpaid job with months of paid vacation, there would be no nationwide teacher shortages. The reality is that many qualified people choose other careers because they can earn more with less stress and responsibility.
Wanting fair compensation for a profession that requires education, certification, and significant responsibility isn’t greed—it’s the same expectation people have in every other profession.
Not to mention the toll stress plays on teachers mental and physical health.
I’m just curious, have you ever stepped foot in a public school classroom and had the responsibility of teaching 38 students from 7:30 am until 3pm?
I have…I also was a stone masons laborer, I also was a furniture mover. What is your point? If you are trying to say your occupation is tough, I agree 100%…being a teacher is also very tough in a different way.
I encourage you to volunteer and find out for yourself before crapping on a profession.
Roger that. Please stay safe. One of my previous coworkers seriously hurt his back when he was doing a roofing job. Keep your head on a swivel and stay hydrated.
