hamburg jr high and hs teachers have students in their classes for a sum total of four and a half hours a day for 178 days a year~which is less than half of a year. how does that schedule and pay compare to the countries you listed?

LOL - It looks like you have some detailed investigation to do to find answers to all your questions.

Try searching on each country, and determining their school year, benefits, pension, class size, etc. if you would like to know it.

It's apparent that for a school year, for teachers with 15 years experience, many other countries pay more than the US, whether compared by GDP or even by straight salary.

If you suspect that's not true for some reason, or want to break that information down into hourly salary, etc, do the research and post that for us.

no ma'am, i do not have a job ahead of me. it is your assertion that other countries offer higher compensation; the burden of proof falls on you to back up your assertion. its why i asked the question.

LOL. My "assertion" was posting that other countries pay more for a teacher with 15 years experience, both by GDP and quite a few by straight salary.

You want to rip that data apart, YOU do it.

Edit: and here is the link for the data http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/20...und-the-world/

oh, i see you edited your post above and added a link. read the link, not the wealth of info needed to make an adequate comparison.
guess it'll have to wait til i get home, since you don't seem interested in proving your point.

Excuse me, it's not my point, it's YOUR point you want "me" to prove

And you accusation of "make sure it's verified" is complete nonsense you make up out of thin air.

I posted information about teacher salaries compared to the world and provided the link. Yes, I gave you the data source - if YOU don't like what it says, YOU are the one that has to bring different data to the table.

And BTW, the information you want on teacher hours is right there on the page - if you had really bothered to look.

I am not responsible for proving your arguments against a link.
