And what does that prove? Doctors make good money too. Are they all over paid? Of course the arguments against teachers apply doubly to politicians - extremely limited number of days in the legislature and huge pensions earned after only 2 terms in office. At least the teachers pay into their pension at 12% of their income (and have hired good fund managers).
Boy you really want to protect your wifys income
Comparing doctors & teachers are we
a 3 year BA + a year at clown college vs. 3 years pre med + four years at medical school + residency
Teachers are qualified to regurgitate a predefined curriculum 3 times a day & instruct finger painting
Doctors see up to 50 patients a day & save lives
For every teacher there are two or three lined up to replace them & enrollment is decreasing
For every doctor we have we need another & they can make more $ in the US, same with nurses & the need for more doctors is going to sky rocket
Simple supply & demand
Teachers vs. politicians , sorry can only deal with one set of parasites at a time. No fixing politicians
Hey Kathleen Wynne is a duel parasite !
She will turn on the teachers when the debt becomes unmanageable (like now)
Teachers contributing to their own pension?
So what, a defined benefit & the province is still n the hook for any pension liability
Most tax payers do have defined benefit, yet are funding the shortfall for teachers, because .....????
Finally Doctors do not threaten to withdraw services to get what they want.
They put the interest of their patients health ahead of compensation issues
Teachers use to have some of that integrity, however not this current lot
Teachers vs. doctors ?
It should be very clear where these two groups are valued by society & it is defiantly not in the same ballpark.
Teacher in the top 5-10% of all income earners is a union driven abomination that has to be corrected
