When you go to see a doctor you go to get a service from a human being. What else are you really paying for????? There is very little overhead because they are not selling tangible goods. Teachers provide the service of educating students (which is the core business of the school). What the hell else would you spend the money on? What else in a school is there to spend it on? Besides equipment and the building and maintenance itself there are no other necessary costs. Perhaps we should provide the students with massages and nice cushy office chairs. Then we would be spending the money directly on students. Umm, just what exactly would you be paying for if not the teachers? When you go to see a doctor you go to get a service from a human being.

If you did, your teachers made a mockery of your true intelligence (albeit not that high). But either way, millions is too vague for you eh? Maybe they should have said a shit ton. Just look at one of these contracts on this site. I did, and I found that in Wisconsin teachers get paid $4K extra to do lunch duty. Friggin lunch duty all so Johnny eats his peas without flipping them at your dumb arse. I also found that a teacher can be paid $8K extra for being a department head at a high school. Do you know how much a professor gets to be a dept. head at a community college? Matter of a few hundred dollars. These are nickel and dimes that add up to MILLIONS of doll hairs jack nutz. Mike America,

Pretty sad effort you can't quantify the savings to a very vague "millions." Fail. Go back to school.
