Wow, your wife and Quick's dad are the teacher's of the century. Or else they are just slow graders. Who knows?
Why not use your superhuman skills and intellect and invent some sort of 'fast grading machine'? Don't tell me, you already have and the union squashed it to save union jobs?
Actually someone on this thread already predicted you would claim to grade 1000 tests an hour.

i can understand that teachers want to be compensatated for having a masters. but they have to remember they also work 1/2 the amount of time the rest of the working world does.
now some have made studies how a master degree doesn't equate to better student.
My sister (who I consider pretty smart) is a nyc teacher.....she told me herself that grad school in Columbia was a cinch....much easier than undergrad....of course that is her experience which maybe different that others
She has told me once you get the lesson plan ironed out the 1st year..the next few years are a breeze. Whatever pay it is, I still believe teaching is a labor of love. Its hard to like almost any job just for pay.
It doesn't matter what the breakdown is. There is no point in justifying. The truth is that total property taxes are high. If it is too high for you, then move.
I especially like how you didn't respond to his other points in that post which have been repeated numerous times - and you said you read the whole thread.
WE pay their salaries so it's not as plain as "jealousy" when WE speak up about it. Why is this so difficult to grasp?

You also pay for health insurance which is going up astronomically every year. Does that also mean the health insurance company workers, big pharma, millionaire doctors, and $90k+ allied health workers should also take a pay cut?
Automobile insurance is expensive on Long Island. Maybe the auto insurance industry workers should get a pay cut.
Utilities are amongst the highest in the nation on Long Island. Seems like the utilities company workers should take a pay cut.
Gas prices have tripled over the years. Looks the oil industry is making too much and should get a pay cut too.
Most of us own smart phones these days and won't give them up, but the data plan has become more expensive. Seems like the phone company workers are making too much should take a pay a cut.
I need a new computer but it's become too expensive, therefore I conclude that the IT industry workers make too much and should take a pay cut.
I want to go to the Giants game but the tickets have become too expensive, that means the professional athletes should take a pay cut.
We've heard the argument "the cost of this has risen drastically and become too high so I concluded that [insert teacher, cop, firefighter, other government worker, doctor, nurse, software engineer, CEO, etc.] is ripping me and everyone else off, making too much, and since I pay their salary it should be less. We get it, you're angry. Fair enough?

That is one way to look at it. The problem is there are 10s of thousands that would love the jobs but, they aren't able to get it due to the high demand and lack of connection. Why should the LI teacher and cop get paid substantially more than the NYC teacher and cop?
Absolutely no reason.
Especially when you look at every single OTHER PROFESSION and they get paid substantially more in NYC.
Unions screwing the taxpayers more efficiently on LI is the only reason. Sad but true.
Crazy talk. Do the teachers fortunate enough to transfer from NYC/private schools suddenly become great teachers when they are hired on LI?
I guess the LI taxpayers pay for brain transplants to turn them into desirables all of a sudden?? LMAO!
