Alberta teachers make an average of $82,000 per year plus generous benefits while working 195 days per year. The average Alberta salary for working 245 days per year is around $70,000. Despite this, teachers got quite upset at the suggestion they have their convention during days when school is already out thus not displacing student learning time. Would working 197 days per year kill them? It would still offer them nearly 50 more days off than the average Joe.
@CoryBMorgan As I know, because my wife is a teacher. Those days are days in the presence of the students. This doesn't account for any prep work, correction, special student needs, etc. She works a lot more than that.
@kevinsintlive @CoryBMorgan And doesn’t get paid what she’s worth
@kevinsintlive @CoryBMorgan The teachers get their preps when students are in music class and library. Gimme a break
@kevinsintlive @CoryBMorgan or paid marking, or school trips or sick days or incredible pension or ability to work casual coverage
