[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please.  A first year teacher who works only their contract hours in aps is paid $63 an hour.  That’s the equivalent of a gs 14 step 3.  It’s not bc it’s a ‘higher calling’ to teach its bc you are highly paid and expected to work more than 7 hours a day.  (Your ‘contract’ day includes a lunch break.  That’s unpaid just like the rest of the world.).  In comparing teacher salaries to other positions you have to look at days and hours worked.   [/quote]

This is not true. A first year teacher with a bachelors in APS makes 48,228 according to the scale. That’s for 200 days of work, 7.5 hours a day.

48,228/200= $241 a day.

241/7.5= $32 an hour.

Nope.  Count the days on the calendar.  It’s 188 contract days.  It’s 7 hours a day.  You get 35 minutes for lunch.  I only deducted 30 bc it made the math easier

188x7= 1316 hours
48228/1316=63.40 an hour[/quote]

The document literally says below the teacher scale it is 200 days. And they are paid for 7.5 hours each of those days. It says this *on the chart* SCHOOL calendar is 188 days but TEACHERS work EXTRA days than just teaching days for in service, workdays, planning, PD that are built in. It is a 7.5[/quote]
