    You know who REALLY doesn't get paid enough relative to the work they do? Day care providers. My aunt was the lead teacher in a day care classroom and made $11 an hour. Fuuuuuck that.

    Can you imagine taking care of 4 nap ninjas at once?
    That sounds like the worst form of torture. Or four teething babies at once?
    The infant room currently has two teething babies, one 10 month old whose mother only brings him oyster crackers and two bottles for the day, so he's always hangry, an 11 month old who is just never happy and constantly cries and a 20lb 3 month old who is as happy as can be. A few of those babies, including my own, sleep for maybe an hour all day total.

    You could not pay me enough to be in that room.
    Why won't the mom of the 10 month old bring him enough to eat??? Sad!
    I don't know. The DC workers feed him more when they have extras. She works close and nurses him twice a day, but he's been on a nursing strike, so hasn't had as much. She isn't from the US and doesn't speak English well. She does say in her country babies don't eat food till they are one.

    When I came back from my BFing group and saw 97 new comments, I expected this thread to be a lot more interesting than it is.

    Um, nurses. I will start CPR and save your ass 3 minutes before your doctor arrives. I also will give your doctor suggestions about how to save your life before you actually go into cardiac arrest. Maybe I don't have all the schooling, but you are toast without me ;)

    Loved my L&D nurse. Like want to kiss her. She is the reason I didn't have to have a c section when my doc said I doomed myself to have one. Not that they are bad, I am just terrified of giant huge needles going in my back. I want to send her a christmas gift but I feel like she wont remember me. She deserves all the money in the world though.

    I dunno.. there are a lot of jobs that don't get paid appropriately, at least not based on importance to society.
    I'm not sure what goes into determining teachers' salary.. is it just based on how much income the state gets from taxpayers??.... @etoille?  For some reason I just assume you know everything.. ;)
    Often local property taxes go towards funding schools, which is why teachers in Bucks County (or Westchester or insert rich county here) get paid more than teachers in poorer towns/counties.
    Oh, I forgot.. you know lots of fun facts too!

    That seems like a bad set up.. It seems like poorer areas should have more funding and therefore (we hope) better education so that *maybe* the kids will be more likely to succeed??  

    I feel like I complete idiot saying that last thing because it sounds really duh.. but... really.  It doesn't make sense!! I've never really thought of it in terms of tax dollars and lower income = lower tax = possibly lower quality education (not necessarily low-quality b/c of teachers.. but lack of resources in general).  Merp.

    Please excuse my ignorance.  ;)
    ------------------------ Ummm yeah, there's a reason poverty is a cycle. I'm kind of stoked you had this epiphany today! Life is not fair, at all. Yes well to do people work hard for what they have but where you come from very much factors into where you end up in life. Unless you are little orphan Annie. ;)
    It's amazing what a difference there is between my fancy suburban high school (in one of the best districts in the state) and my husband's high school in a little mill town an hour away. If I hadn't been born to middle-class engineers I probably wouldn't have ended up being a software engineer who (altogether, counting bonuses and stocks etc) probably made 6 figures this year at 24. Even just having a mom who can tell me from experience that no you are not going to spend the next 40 years doing the terrible shit you're learning in Algorithms & Logic (ughhh proofs :-S )... I came close to joining the engineering attrition group and switching to a PoliSci major.
    Oh yeah, I love aha! moments. I knew some schools/districts were "better" than others but I never really made the tax dollar connection. Also, pass along some of your "got-my-shit-together", will ya? I so should have a degree and a well paying job by now. :'( Maybe if I didn't change my major 138471 times... >:(

    @mermomo5 I actually kind of like members only jackets. Maybe I should save that for tomorrows FFFC. My grandfather still rocks them. Wish we were the same size because I'd totally gank them.

    I didn't like my L&D nurse... her name was Shelly and she sucked.

    I did like my PP nurses though, they were awesome :)

    @MrsErinH I would say just a card with a pic of your D and a nice message. Maybe some yummy baked goods, too. :)

    Ummmm, no!

    I used to work day care. I was a teacher in the 1 year old room. 26 toddlers, the majority of whom refused to nap. 26 diapers 11tymillion times a day. 26 crying babies. 26 needy parents. And I made $9/hour with no benefits. I loved those kids but I had to get out of daycare before I swore off having kids of my own.
