Our analysis finds that the average US teacher works 2,100 hours in a full calendar year β€” based on that, first-year teachers earn an average of only $20 per hour worked, while the average across all teachers is $30 per hour.

What teacher is working 2100 hours in a year? That's a little more than 40 hours/week if you work 52 weeks without a break. No goddarn teacher in the country is doing that.

Edit: Yep, it's full of shit lol.

Did they just use 2100 hours for the denominator across the board!?! Assuming 185 school days, even 9 working hours for every single in session day still leaves 435 hoursβ€”almost 11 full time work weeksβ€”of extra work. That figure seems super high to me.

Standard work year is 2000 hours (50 weeks x 40 hours). Anyone who's even sniffed a payroll office knows this.

Standard contract for a teacher is 180 days. That's 1440 hours a year.

So, these numbers are very misleading. Teachers are expected to find something else to do or not get paid for those two months that the rest of us are working.

my physics teacher at school was some kind of specialist electrician and would always say he made more in 2 months of summer than the entire rest of the year teaching

Then why didn't he just do that full time?

Physics teachers are usually the chill ones who just like to teach (and tell fun stories half of the time) :marseyshrug: Teaching physics always felt more like a hobby to the ones I had.

That was my physics/chem teacher. Then he went to be a principal at a Catholic school. Then he went off the grid. Now he's probably dead.

My physics :marseysphericalcow: teacher :marseymoidteach: wasa nightmare. One time, he had a nervous :marseyfedscared: breakdown :marseyschizowave: in class and ran out of the class crying. Shit's embarrassing.

I think it was a mix of the job being super specialist so most of the work for a year fit into that time and just liking teaching

I mean if you already have like 300k it probably doesn't mean a lot to him and would rather grill kids on science all day. He's a dramatard at heart.

That makes sense, specialist tradesmen are always in demand. And they make bank if they're especially good at their job.

Any jackass with a couple of degrees, certs, and a 6 figure debt can become a teacher now.

185 days isn't counting weekends. And 9 working hours on a school day can be a low estimate in busier portions of the school year, or for newer teachers.

Hahahahahahahaha

They usually have a choice to get paid for like 6 weeks of summer school and also get paid through the whole year but get reduced checks or get paid. Bigger checks for 9 months.

Even taking their figures... what's wrong with a first-year teacher making $20 an hour? :marseyshrug: At 2100 hours that totals $42,000 annually which is about the median U.S. personal income, it's comfy.
