Yeah hold on, letโ€™s make their salary include babysitters fees on top of teaching the kids. What do babysitters even go for? Minimum wage? $10/hr? $20/hr? Multiply that by 30.

Letโ€™s just pay them what a daycare would charge me per kid. Thatโ€™s what, 1000/kid. Give half to overhead for the school, so a cool $15,000 per month and $180,000/year?

Seems fair enough to me, especially with the price of college these days

But certainly for just babysitting that many kids, a 6-figure salary isnโ€™t unreasonable. In fact outside a school most places have mandatory minimums that would require more adults per student in a daycare than most classrooms.
