DESS, the fact that you are continuing to make things up and refusing to acknowledge the facts blows me away. This is why people think you are trolling. You came in here with a skewed view of a job you don't understand, and after it has been shown that you are wrong you won't concede that maybe the people who actually do know about the job may have a better idea what is happening when a teacher is working. I feel like I'm listening to a Creationist, the way you ignore evidence is identical to theirs.

Can you explain this 'part time employees' thing? I mean in detail...actually explain it. We have given numerous example of teachers working 10-12 hours/day, so I would like to hear how this is part time. And don't give us the 'they work 9-3' thing, because the overwhelming majority do not work like that. If you need a refresher, please see my earlier post where I calculated it. You know, the post with the numbers you have completely ignored because they don't fit in with your argument. You still haven;t even realized that teachers work extra in the 10 months school is in that makes up for the 2 months it's out.

Something else...none of the teachers in here have been bitching about being paid poorly. In fact, a few of us have said we are happy with the salary we get, but again, you ignore this because it doesn't fit your argument. But, if you want teachers to be paid according to years of schooling etc, I don't think we are paid as well as most people who have a minimum of 2 degrees and have 6 years of post-secondary. You said you would like to pay teachers as they do in the private sector, based on school, responsibility, hours worked, etc., but you really have no clue about any of those things. You are just plain ignorant about it.

It would be fantastic for society if teaching were such an easy, overly rewarded job as you make it out to be. Think about it...everybody would want to be a teacher. Universities could choose their students from massive applicant pools, only accepting the best of the best. After that, there would be a surplus of teachers sitting around waiting for school interviews because, again, principals could be so picky about who they hire. More competition for these easy jobs would help weed out all us lazy teachers who are here because we get (apparently in your eyes) 16 weeks off.

PS. Folks, he isn't going to tell us what he does. He has been asked many times now and just continues to ignore the question.
