Teachers’ Pay

Teachers are paid too much!! I’m fed up with teachers and their hefty salaries for only 9 months work! What we need here is a little perspective. If I had my way, I’d pay teachers babysitting wages.That’s right…instead of paying these outrageous taxes, I’d give them $3.00 an hour. And, I’m only going to pay them for 5 hours, not planning time. That would be $15.00 a day. Each parent should pay $15.00 a day for these teachers to baby sit their children. Even if they have more than one child, it’s still cheaper than private daycare.Now how many children do they teach a day–maybe 20? That’s $15.00 x 20 = 300.00 a day. But remember, they only work 180 days a year! I’m not going to pay them for all the vacations: $300.00 x 180 =$54,000. (Just a minute my calculator must need batteries.)What will teachers say about those who have 10 years of experience and a master’s degree? Well, maybe (just to be fair) they could get the minimum wage. We can round that off to about $6.00 an hour, times 5 hours, times 20 children. $6.00 x 5 x 20. That’s $600 a day times 180 days. That’s only $108,000.Wait a minute…there is something wrong here…

What on earth!!!

Two college students, Frank and Matt, are riding on a New York City subway when a beggar approaches them asking for spare change.

Frank adamantly rejects the man in disgust.

Matt, on the other hand, whips out his wallet, pulls out a couples of dollar bills and gladly hands them over to the beggar with a smile.

The beggar thanks him kindly and then continues on to the other passengers.
Frank is outraged by his friend’s act of generosity.

“What on earth did you do that for?” shouts Frank.
“You know he’s only going to use it on drugs or booze!!!”

Matt replies, “What…and we weren’t?”

Black

At an university, a lecture about trees is in progress. The lecturer explains
that different trees produce different kinds of nuts. Some of the nuts are round
shaped, some angular in shape, some are green, some are brown etc. Only one tree
in the world has black nuts. Professor names that tree in Latin. Then Professor
notices that one female student is not listening to him, but is fully absorbed
in reading a book. He approaches her, and, pointing a finger at her, shoots a
question, “Whose nuts are black?”
Startled, the student replies, “Those of blacky.”
