Why be a teacher, page-10

Let's see...minimum hours 8.45am to 3pm...40 school weeks out of 52 weeks a year.

Most people would work at least 36 hours a week for 48 weeks...school teachers maybe 6.5 hours minimum for 40 weeks = $46.15 per hour for a first year teacher, or for a teacher on $100k = $76.92 per hour.


That analysis is factually correct, but deeply flawed because TIME is not the factor that is COSTED.
It is the relationship one has with students. Inspiration for yourself and teachers and students
