If this is your opinion then I would guess you are either 1) a Britney fan or 2) not really understanding what I am talking about.

I gotta call BS on your teacher opinion. I've heard it before how teachers only "work" 9 months a year. Sorry man, my mom was a teacher and she was still working in the summer getting ready for the next year.

It's kinda like saying a football player only gets paid for the time he's on the field. There's a lot more in it than that.

Its true that thats a lot of money, but it isn't a WHOLE lot compared to some people. Spending several million bucks a year to live is very very easy. Shoot Kerry spends that much on haircuts. Kerry is one of them there POOR democrat working types. Our Saudi Friends carry that much money in petty cash. I have heard from reliable pilot friends that they need a fork lift to put the petty cash aboard their aircraft. These people spend several BILLON dollars per year, thats several 1000 million dollars per year. How much per month is that?

In any case, this is AMERICA, its her money, to spend as she chooses. It ain't the commie states of Norway or whatever. However she spends it, she supports more poor people than any Norwegian state ever could for the same outlay.

you are confused.... Trump nearly went bankrupt because he had poor investments at some point, not because he blew 34(0) million a month

100 k a month vs 340 million or even 34 million a month is a BIIIIG difference
nobody doubts that 100K a month is doable, or even that some have such budgets

but 34 million a month would be 125 grand an HOUR
that is, if one would manage to spend cash during each hour one is sleeping

investing in real estate, business, corporate jets
neither are "personal expenses"

even those saudi's you mention, i doubt they blow 340 million on personal expenses, sure they buy a lotta cars, but they don't gamble, they spend most their money on keeping the 20 women and 60 children happy in golden palaces... bit difficult to call those "personal expenses", the woman and kids maybe , but the palaces are again, real estate...

your numbers, 34 or 340 million a month are just not realistic...

i agree, she can spend it as she wants, i never said otherwise

btw, Norway, is not , nor has it ever been a commie state
it's a constitutional monarchy
not quite sure wtf you're talking about there

N-D, I respect your opinion although I disagree. Comparing a teacher on summer break to an athlete training for big game, ......

I worked as an instructor for a couple of years and even prepared my own course material in some cases. It was in a professional setting and I was training craftsmen on new skills so it wasn't the same as public school, even though the material was very detailed and technical and presented to a very critical knowledgeable audience. Things like using laser tools to align multiple machines to each other, calculating and compensating for thermal growth, trouble-shooting and diagnosing recipropcating compressors using crank phase angle and compression pressure waves, vibration analysis, etc.

When writing my own course material I budgeted about 6 to 8 hours of prep work for every hour of instruction, sometimes more and sometimes less. Most of the time i was already familiar with hte subject, if I was not I would have to spend more time on it.
But .... here's the tricky part ... when the course curriculum was already developed as in a canned program (and in the public school system), a half hour per hour was a more reasonable ratio, and usually only applied to the first time I had to present. After that first time a quick 15 minute refresher and scanning of my notes was all that was necessary to be fully prepared.

That was for an 8 hour per day seminar, not an hour long class (repeated several times over the day) for a public high school teacher. I didn't get an hour in the middle of the day to myself to prepare for the next day and I didn't have a teacher's aide or three either.

I cannot for the life of me understand how any COMPETENT teacher would need to spend very much time preparing to instruct an hour's worth of material that is already prepared.

Why would they write the check if they did not think she had earned it? They feel sorry for her because she is semi-literate trailer trash maybe.


Okay, teachers don't work 9 months a year, they work 10(not counting all the half days, holidays at all) Perhaps your memory is slightly inaccurate. I know a fair number of teachers, and they are not working all summer, aside from at a second job.
