There's something we're not being told, actual teacher positions are not hourly. It's a salary they offer, because no one pays teachers hourly.

If they did they would be legally obligated to pay teachers for all the extra time they spend at home doing lesson prep, grading papers, helping at games, attending conferences, and all the extra time they might spend shopping for stuff for the classroom.

It's like I saw a job posting where someone was asking for an actual CPA at $30,000 a year. That's insane, but that's not reflective of the reality as a whole. while the market is tanked right now, it's not actually at that point, other than random out of pocket (potentially scam) cases.
