[QUOTE="Buzzgun, post: 3083643, member: 4715"] Where, exactly, did I say they only work 6 hours a day?? Go ahead, find it and post it here, I'll wait.......[SIZE=4]I never said teachers only worked 6 hours a day, I know better, but go ahead and try to put words in my mouth if it makes you feel better. I posted FACTS I found on the Moore school district website.......those FACTS include the number of DAYS they are required to work and the total compensation they receive from a 10 month contract. I also pointed out that there are lots of people working just as hard, or harder, who do so for less money and no benefits, and you don't see them constantly whining, moaning and protesting that they aren't paid enough. [/SIZE] Again, I do question their intelligence if they are surprised and disappointed by their salary, it's not like it's a secret and it certainly shouldn't be a surprise! And, yes, they are stupid if they spend 4 years getting a degree to teach and then aren't satisfied with the compensation, when that information is posted for anyone to see. I feel the same way about ANYONE who [U]chooses[/U] an occupation that pays less than they want to make and then they complain about not being paid enough!! If teachers choose to teach because they care about students and enjoy what they do, that is great, but it still doesn't change the fact that teaching pays what it pays and they can either be happy with it or go do something else.......what is so difficult about that?? It's not stupid to choose to teach if that's what you want to do......it IS stupid to make that choice [U]knowing[/U] that you won't be satisfied with the pay! Even more stupid is blaming other people for the results of the choices that you make....especially when you can see the consequences of those choices BEFORE you make them!! As I said before, nobody is holding a gun to their heads, they are free to go where the grass is greener.......just don't expect the rest of us to feel sorry for the choices they made!! [/QUOTE]
