That doesn't seem like a great deal of money, but a teacher works 180 days a year, 180 days at 8 hours a day is 1,440 hours, divide that by 32k and its 22$/hr. What other job can you have all summer off, every holiday, and snow days, and make 22$/hr? It's not that bad of a deal honestly.

Dont know any teachers that only work 8 hour days. More like 12-13. Especially coaches that really teach. Then regular teachers have to work after school for clubs, grade papers, special education paperwork, or whatever. Dont know any around this area hardly at all that put in 8 hour days.
