I'm not slamming your wife. Only your argument.
She's being paid a compensation package agreed upon by the municipality. They have the right to do what they want and make as dumb a deal as they want. If they feel that her teaching skills warrant an 82k a year job (Pay plus benefits) far be it for me to stop them.
But for you to come in here and whine by proxy about how underpaid teachers are, when your personal experience is much different? You destroy your entire argument. I'm sure I'd have no problem living in the TC on $1000 a week plus awesome benefits.
Yep. Y'all got it rough.
Never did I say she was underpaid. I pointed out she could make more elsewhere when you guys keep saying she's overpaid. I'm not saying she's over or underpaid. She's under contract and both she and the district are happy with the arrangement. So what's you guys' beef?
.
Uhhh huh. Whoosh! I think I saw the goal posts fly by!
You fight about how underpaid and picked on teachers are in the abstract, but then to try and back up your argument you bring up the specific case of your wife. She, it turns out, makes (which if you'd stop bringing her into this, she'd get left alone) excellent pay and benefits, potentially far better than those in the community she works. You 'whine' about her salary being spread over the entire year, and it turns out to be darn near 250% greater than mine, plus benefits to die for??? And you say it's unfair to make teachers in WI pay 12% more of their salary into retirement and health benefits?
And to top it off, the money saved, not only saves every job in the district, it saves the town of Kaukauna from a 400k shortfall and give it a 1.5 million! This is an aggregate bad?
Wow, you're truly fucked in the noggin.
