Yup. $13k/year works out to about $10 per pupil-hour, and even less once you include costs like the building and work done out-of-hours (grading, lesson planning). I’m pretty sure I made something like that babysitting in junior high!

- prirun 4y ago"Pupil-hour" makes no sense in a classroom environment. When you were babysitting, they didn't pay you $10/hr per kid.
- mattkrause 4y agoMany people did, actually. The amount of work/responsibility definitely scales with the number of kids, and it's not exactly linear either: one will color quietly, two might play together--or fight, and three or more...yikes. I mentioned the rate because it surprised me it was so close. I'd expect that it costs more to actually educate a kid, and of course, the parents provided the house (and often ice cream and HBO), whereas that rate includes everything.
- prepend 4y agoIf you can get a job for $10/pupil/hour for 30 kids for 7 hours a day, go for it. ($2,100 per day) I don’t think that exists. So comparing babysitting for a few rich kids to teaching full time makes no sense.
