A friend sent me this email. Now I know why the daycare provider down the street is a homeowner and drives a LandRover and I well, we just won't go there.

AREN'T YOU ALL SICK OF THOSE HIGH PAID TEACHERS??
>Their hefty salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work nine or ten months a year! It's time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they do... baby-sit!
>We can get that for less than minimum wage. That is right. I would give them $3.00 dollars an hour and only the hours they worked, not any of that silly planning time. That would be $19.50 a day (7:45 AM to 4:00 PM with 45 min. off for lunch).

>Each parent should pay $19.50 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their
>children.Now, how many do they teach in a day... maybe 30? So that's 19.5 X 30 =$585.00 a day. However, remember they only work 180 days a year! I am not going to pay them for any vacations.

>Let's see . . .. that's $585 x 180 = $105,300 per year. (Hold on! My calculator must need batteries!)
>What about those special teachers and the ones with master's degrees? Well, we could pay them minimum wage just to be fair, round it off to $7.00 an hour. That would be $7 times 6-1/2 hours times 30 children times 180 days=$245,700.00 per year.

>Wait a minute, there is something wrong here!
>
>There sure is, duh!
>
>Make a teacher smile; send this to someone who appreciates teachers!
>
>(Average teacher salary $50,000/180 days = $277per day/30 students =$9.23/6.5 hours = $1.42 per hour per student.) Very inexpensive babysitter, and they even educate your kids! Crazy!"
Coming off of a 40 hour week (and it has not been a good week, either)...it's only Thursday and we had Monday off. You do the math. Oh well, sleep is overrated me thinks!
