I am a college student writing an English paper about How teachers are getting paid too little... please help!

We Answered:

Research some of this:
Avg pay of a teacher in the US. Figure out pay per hour. (how many days in the teaching contract, usually about 190 , and how many hours in a contract school day, usually around 8) Compare that rate of pay to many other careers, especially those that are life impacting. Oh, and especially with pro sports players! That one always makes us teachers feel oh so loved!

Now, use that same pay rate and get real with it. Go with those same number of days, but how many hours does a teacher REALLY work).

Cost of keeping up teacher certification versus what school districts will reimburse. (Look up recertification standards for the state to see how many graduate hours are needed, check with local districts for reimbursement.) Most companies will pay to send their people to school to keep them up to date and current.

How many teachers work second jobs or full time jobs during the summer to supplement their pay?

Teacher pay compared to poverty level earnings in the US. Many teachers will fall below the national poverty lines.

Hope that helps!! And good luck!!

Jobs for college students on a tight schedule???

We Answered:

Well, I can maybe somewhat help. I cannot tell you where to find the job that is why I am only somewhat helpful. The mother of a Friend of mine growing up would sit at home taping commercials from various channels. It sounds funny, I know, but you can receive moderate pay for this task. My understanding is that the advertiser wants to ensure their commercial was aired at the time it was paid for and that the commercial was not cut short, or the broadcaster did not lose signal during that time…Please do not edit this message and point out my grammar errors. I am only an amateur answerer and may become distressed by your criticism. LOL
