[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2994034, member: 425"] Let's convert an average teacher's salary to hourly pay. Here's the math: [LIST] [*]Let's assume this teacher's salary is $35,000 per year. [*]There are 42 weeks during a normal school-year (e.g., Aug 8 to May 26 for this year), we'll subtract 2 non-working weeks out for holidays, leaving 40 paid weeks during the school-year. We'll estimate 65 hours per week (including 1.5x overtime pay for every hour over 40 hours) for those 40 weeks. [*]Let's assume this teacher spends $10 per week, for those 40 weeks, out-of-pocket on necessary classroom materials--effectively reducing salary to $34,600. [*]Let's assume this teacher also takes 2 non-working weeks during the summer, leaving 8 paid weeks during the summer. We'll estimate 10 hours per week for those 8 weeks. This yields 80 hours of summer work, which is a very conservative estimate. That is, if this teacher works more than 80 hours during the summer, the hourly pay is actually *less* than what's stated next. [*]This teacher makes [B][U]$10.8806 per hour[/U][/B]. [*]If this teacher moves to Texas for a $10,000 salary increase, s/he makes [B][U]$14.0252 per hour[/U][/B] for the same work. [*]The BBQ is much better in Texas, so you now you know why teachers are leaving Oklahoma in droves! [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
