E-mail from a teacher today:
You told us we got a step and a half raise this year. I only got $80.
Okay, what step are you on? She told me. Okay this is your salary this year, this was your salary last year. That’s $1050.00.
I still have my paystub from last August. My August check this year is only $80 more than last year.
(really folks, I don’t make this chit up…)
Well, if you divide $1050 by 12 thats $87. I’m guessing the missing $7 is taxes…
So you’re telling me I have to divide my raise by 12?

She must not be a edumucaateded math teacher.

OMFG!!! I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who works with idiots!
Math is hard.
Amazing!
You only lose 7/87 of the raise to taxes? Low bracket, lots of dependents (hope not, with those math skills), or a low state tax state?
I am astounded.
jd2718: they’re public school teachers. Of course it’s a low bracket.
I’m public school, and I lose over 30% of any increment to taxes…
Oh my. That’s just sad.
Try not to hurt yourself. I hope that wasn’t a math teacher.
I just discovered a new idiot at my school.
I’m afraid we’ve been invaded.
I have to say, you are incredibly funny.
This post made me laugh and laugh.
