Despite what you've heard on the news, teachers actually make bank.
That's $29,467 a year BEFORE taxes and insurance are deducted.
Their comfortable salary ensures they never have to work a second job to make ends meet.
Around 20% of public school teachers have to work a second job during the school year to get by.
With every passing year, they make more and more.
They waste their money on unnecessary supplies for their classroom instead of just saving it.
In fact, over 90% of teachers in the US spend their own money on school supplies.
They get off at 3 p.m., instead of 5 or 6 like everyone else.
Students might leave at 3, but teachers almost never do.
They have plenty of free time to grade papers and lesson-plan at work, ensuring that their nights and weekends are always free.
They just sit behind a desk all day...
...and never do anything to make learning fun.
They get a minimum of three months off during the summer.
Not to mention a spring break to relax and unwind.
Given that elementary school teachers are really just glorified babysitters, their salary is actually very generous.
Some people think they "make a difference in students' lives," but that's simply not true.
The reality is this: Teaching is so, so, SO easy...
...anyone could do it. That's just a fact.
