State Employees get paid the day before a holiday.  If they normally get paid on a Friday and it is a holiday, they get paid that Thursday.  They always get paid BEFORE the due payday, never after.\n\n(Teachers are State Employees, I am also a State Employee)

I wouldn't say the pay scale for Tennessee educators is horrendous, compared to other places. Salaries for teachers in general is horrendous. Tennessee is ranked 33rd out of 50 on average teacher salary with an average of 40,657, but the cost of living in Tennessee is generally low. There are minimum salaries that teachers must be paid, based on education level and experience. You can find this info here:\nhttp://www.teateachers.org/informationcenter/Salary%20Info/TN%20minsalsched.htm\n\nFor my first year of teaching, next year, I am not expecting to make over 30k and I live in Tennessee.

Teacher's should get paid like the educated professionals they are.  There is a lot more in teaching than most people think.  Some people might argue that 35k (average salary for a first year teacher) might be enough but there's  alot of other factors to consider than just living expenses.  Every time a teacher takes work to be graded home, its unpaid overtime.  Every time a teacher tutors before school or after school for the most part is unpaid overtime (some schools do pay teachers but not many).  Every time child receives a certificate, a pencil, a cupcake, a candy, a sticker, a book or any other type of rewards, they are paid out of pocket.  Anytime you walk into a teacher's room and see posters, bulletin boards, borders for decoration, the majority of the books (for students to read for pleasure), even whiteboard markers were paid out of pocket.  Some teachers have been known to buy their own desk chairs because the schools don't provide any.  Some schools limit the teacher's use of copy machines.  Guess what happens when a teacher runs out...Kinko's run to send homework packets home, parents letters, progress reports out of pocket and only to find out that the homework doesn't get done and letters are not being read.  I definately think teacher's should get paid more.

Full time means 35 to 40 hours per week.  If you work in an office that is usualy about 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.  If you work in a hotel, store or resteraunt, that could mean nights eveninings and weekends too\n\nSchools vary but it is usualy about 9 to 3:30.\n\nFor low income families, government money is avaiable to help cover the costs of daycare or afterschool care...however very few daycares operate outside of the hours of 8am to 6pm monday to friday....so you usualy need to get a day job to benifit from this

It depends on what the teacher is doing for those last few minutes. If it is just wait around until 2:25, then leave. If the teacher actually expects you to work, stay and get the work done. Keep in mind your teacher knows what school you attend and what report and end time is required. You need to know what your teacher is expecting and act accordingly.

Hi. I'm a Bulgarian student and to be honest don't know what you exactly mean. In BG the Ministry of Education has the idea to calculate the month salary of the teachers by giving test to the students. The inspectors come to the school and give the students the tests. Then the test are checked and depending ot the marks (better marks=better teacher) they decide if the teacher is doing his job right and give him more or less money. I hope that this is what you're asking about. However this system is not applied yet, but it'll probably soon be applied.

In primary (elementary) school, students attend about 6 hours per day, and teachers 7.5 hours per day.  Students attend 180 days (40 weeks counting partial weeks for holidays), and teachers 182 (2 extra days for in-service training, etc.) on their contract.\n\nHowever, the teacher's "contract" time tells only part of the story. Teachers are required to continue professional development, including taking college courses, throughout their careers. We also have lots of paperwork to do, that adds up to 1 to 3 hours per day extra time.\n\nThere are many schools, as well, that are going to year-round schedules rather than having a long summer break.\n\nRegardless of how the breaks are spread, teachers continue to work through them. Currently, during my summer break, I am putting together additional center activities for my class next year. I am also taking a college class toward a second Master's Degree (my first M.A. is in special education). \n\nTeaching is a full-time, year-round job, for half the pay of other professions that have similar training and professional requirements.\n\nThe average teaching salary last year for 1st year teachers was around $29,500.  Overall, for all teachers at all levels of experience and training, it was around $46,000.  This is the "gross" pay, before taxes, health and life insurance, mandatory retirement deductions, professional organization fees, etc. Take-home pay is a little more than half of gross pay.

40 hrs x $15/hr = $600\n2 hrs ot on Friday: pay rate = $15/hr x1.5 = $22.50/hr x 2 hrs=$45\nsunday rate: double $15/hr= $30/hr, he worked 5 hours, so 5 x $30 = $150.\nadd them up> 600 + 45 + 150 = $795.

Yes there are 53 Fridays in the year 2004, if you start paying on the first Friday in July 2002 for 4 years or 208 weeks, You will be done on June 23, 2006.  Just like you said.  I did the calculation myself, you are correct.  Hope this helps. Explanation below:\n\nThe are only 52 weeks out of a year (365 days or 366 in case of a leap year divided by 7 days in a week equals 52 weeks).  It truly depends on when you pay.  Example if you paid someone every other week, bi-weekly, on Fridays, there will be times when you pay out 27 times in a year rather than 26 that typically happens.  Therefore, to answer your question yes you may have 53 payouts in one year.

Today is Sunday, but I always take the day off from work. If my birthday falls on a weekend, I take the following Monday off. I buy myself a gift that I know no one will buy FOR me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

My sister paid for hers by working full time during the summer and not spending any money. Then she went to a community college for two years because is was cheaper than a state college or university. Because she paid for these two years out of her pocket, up front, she was able to use that as a tax write-off and get most of the money back because of some bill that bill clinton passed.  This helped her pay for first semester tution when she transferd to a state collge, which is still cheaper than a university.  \n\nShe paid for all of it out of her pocket by working full time/overtime during the summer, and then working full time while going to school. working more than 20 hours however is not recomended while taking classes.\n\nAlso it depends on what you are going into. If you are going to be a teacher, and if you plan to teach in a rural area, and you take out the right loans, you might get it paid off for you, just for teaching in a rural area or poor school district. Im not possitive how that works though.

"The way you see the problem IS the problem." Stephen R. Covey, to borrow one of MJ23 4Life's sources, has certainly given any reader of his book something to mull over, even if the aforementioned quote is the only thing that they take away from his writings. Perception. It seems obvious, but it really is something that goes overlooked constantly – human beings are blest (or cursed) with the ability to rationalize anything. While your current feelings are very likely the byproduct of any number of events leading up to this moment in time, whether or not you let any of your misgivings ruin your day is completely up to you. Is this a highly idealistic concept? Yes, I think so. Several other posts have mentioned this sentiment, but if you are really not satisfied with being a teacher of kindergarten students, then perhaps you should go exploring outside of your comfort zone and attempt to instruct children during another phase of their early development. Also, salary should really be of no concern if you are doing something that you are truly passionate about. In the management courses I have taken (this doesn’t make me an expert) we have studied how there is absolutely no correlation between pay and one’s intrinsic desire to do work. Money can only take you so far and it certainly “can’t buy me love,” as the Beatles would say. You can justify this to yourself however you like. Good teachers are few and far between and if it is your goal to become a good one, and not just another statistic, then perhaps it is time to cast any doubts you may have aside and start to focus on why it is that you will be good at what you do. Life really is too short to spend all of your days questioning what it is that you are doing here.

Teaching does NOT make money. You will find that teachers living in financial comfort are married to someone making the big income... it's not from the teacher pay. Most people living on a teaching income only, are either single and living modestly, or hold down a second job on nights/weekends/summers.\n\nIf you want to make the best money possible teaching, then be prepared not to have a life... the only extra money directly from teaching is from stipends, such as sports coaching. That's a big time commitment. Even then, you won't make as good a pay as you would with similar levels of training, time on the job, and degrees in business, law, medicine, etc.

Amen to englishteacher!  The day does not end for us when the children go home - that's when you start the mountain of paperwork and planning that needs to be done to ensure the next day is smooth and productive. \nGood teachers will also very rarely have the full holidays, all teachers I know spend half their holiday in the classroom, organising the next terms work.  In addition, we also have a 24 hour a day, seven day a week "duty of care" to children (not just the children we teach, but all children everywhere, and that includes "vulnerable adults"), meaning we are never "off duty".  Teachers end up being friends with teachers cos it gets to the point when you can't talk about anything else!!  My cousin is constantly being berated by her husband for telling everyone (including taxi drivers and shop assistants) about the kids she teaches.  You just cannot leave the job behind when you (finally!) go home.\nAs for the money, the majority of teachers I know do it cos they love the job and want to help kids maximise their potential in life.  However, if salary is looked at as a reflection of the role you play in the functioning of society, how can we be receiving less than an advertising exec???  I think the issue teachers have with the money is that it is not reflective of the job that we do, compared to the salary received by others.  I'm not money grabbing, I don't aspire to be rich, but I do want society to recognise the importance of the job we do.  I don't "play with kids" all day, I work long and hard to ensure every child I am resposnsible for becomes the greatest person they can be.  If you don't want us to have more money to reflect that, then think of another way you can show us respect.
