180 days, 8 hour days would put it at about 1440 hours, which by his math would be about 105k... so he is definitely off somewhere.
I would put it closer to $50 (assuming the 180 days/8hr days numbers are correct)
170 days....10 days less that the national average
5 hr. 45 min. school day
but regardless.....if those figures are right....is that a fair wage to pay the average teacher....before the cost of benefits.

Find me a teacher that only works 5.75 hrs a day and I'll kiss your ass.
Oh, and get a number to deduct for the classroom supplies that the teachers have to buy.
Maybe its hypothetical....and why do they get to opt out of Social Security....the rest of us can't to that....
Just can't bring yourself to answer the question ?.....Then butt the fuck out
Teachers here in Anchrage generally go back to school as is required by the school district. Teachers pay for this education out of their own pockets. My teacher friends also subsidize school supplies for their classroom.
So do doctors and even some blue collar jobs require ongoing training to keep up with changing rule, regulation, and job renewal of licences, etc....
This is Chicago, not Alaska.....just answer the question, is it fair to them and to us.

No koolaid here. I have a degree in secondary ed, I have numerous friends who are teachers, and I have had kids in several different schools in different areas.
No teacher I have ever known, worked with, or talked to ever worked only 5.75 hrs a day. When do you think they write lesson plans, grade tests, create tests, grade projects, or do research on what to include and not include in their lesson plans?? Do you think they get a Teacher's Big Book of Lessons and Tests that has all that in it?? Not to mention that almost every school requires teachers to take on some other responsibility or sponsor some group or club. Also, as Rana said, they are required to take continuing ed classes at their own expense. I don't know of many professions that require you to continue your education that do not pay for the classes. Every class my company has ever required of me was paid for out of their pockets, not mine.
If you believe there are teachers working less than 6 hours a day then you are drowning in the koolaid.

The difference is who pays for it. Doctors probably pay for their own, but given the difference in salaries, that is expected. Blue collar workers are often required to take classes to stay on top of new regulations or safety practices. I have never had to pay for any of my classes. Nor have any of my students had to pay for their own safety training. Their companies pay for it.

Althea told me...
Even if your work hours for in class were right (they aren't), when do you think the teachers grade homework/tests?

True there too. My daughter has to be at school by 7am, and gets out at 3. That looks like 8 hrs to me, instead of 5.75 hrs. Who knew the teachers were off the clock for 2.25 hrs every school day?
You might be right....I can see where a math teacher might have to write new lesson plans a few times a year in case 1+1=2 changes.....
You never know when Idaho or Ohio might change the names of its capitol city or the a new ocean might be discovered.....
Is $75.oo a hour fair or unfair compensation ?....Thats the question. A simple yea or nay will do.
Is she in Chicago ?
Lucky you....lets try to stay with the topic....
Is $75.00 an hr. enough or not enough in Chicago.

It must be handy to oversimplify everything. I guess that makes it easier for you to understand.
No, the teachers do not change any of the facts. But they do change how those facts are presented in order to get the students to learn. YOu know what learning is, right? That thing everyone else did and left you behind back in grade school?

Since you arrived at that figure by using bogus numbers, the question itself is bogus. Come up with a better number, one based on accurate information, and we'll talk.
