The average teacher's salary starts out at $23 thou/yr. Utah also has one of the highest adult/child ratios in the nation. The 'religion' in this area does not believe in birth control, therefore there are HUGE families. They send their little beasties to school and let the teachers deal with them. <BR/><BR/>As for the 3 months off in the summer.....for most schools here that doesnt happen either. There is the 'year-round' system. Teachers DO get some time off here and there, but not 3 months consecutively. A week here or there IF they are lucky.<BR/><BR/>It's no wonder there is a massive teacher shortage here. Even someone like ME can figure that one out LOL!!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17757708497864460141noreply@blogger.com
