Public School Teachers Selling Lesson Plans Online
theodp writes "Thousands of teachers are using websites like Teachers Pay Teachers and We Are Teachers to cash in on a commodity they used to give away, selling lesson plans online for exercises as simple as M&M sorting and as sophisticated as Shakespeare. While some of this extra money is going to buy books and classroom supplies, the new teacher-entrepreneurs are also spending it on dinners out, mortgage payments, credit card bills, vacation travel and even home renovation, raising questions over who owns material developed for public school classrooms."
Maybe the government needs to take away some of that summer vacation and implement a mandatory lesson development period before school starts. If teachers want to step out of the world of socialism (they live off the public dime and get an insane amount of vacation) and into the world of capitalism they're going to get schooled -- yeah, pun intended.
Fucking wahh. Paid with public funds, your work is public domain. Don't like those potatoes, get another job. Try a private facility instead. Take the number of hours a year they are paid to work and they get paid more than enough, and plenty of teachers will tell you that. They get far more vacation time each year than anyone else. Do something else in your spare time if you want to make a yearly amount thats higher.
If the market wasn't flooded with shitty teachers they'd get paid more. Supply and demand at its finest.
