make to mentor young kids, you did not spend 41000 hours per year coaching track and cross country. You can make a good point while being more realistic about the numbers.

High school coaches pay in Alpine School System

I assume that’s on top of their teachers salary…

If they are also teachers. My daughter's cheer coach is not a teacher, she coaches high school cheer as a side gig.

A lot of high schools are staffed by mediocre teachers who got the job by

With opportunity cost I lost well over $100k coaching. I was a sole practitioner

That thought came to mind as well as a coach would have to give up some family

Don’t think you’re suggesting this but it should never be justification for bullying.

Going a lot a bit nerd here. So at .07/hr to earn $4,500.00 one would have to work-- 64,285.71 hours. That's dedication!

That coach should get the $4,500 AND Rachel's hand in marriage.

Do people get paid for time and travel when they go to work?

Charles Darwin

No not at all. She is not a teacher so I was just pointing out that . . .

Don Juan can elaborate on this, but basically a high school coach gets a stipend

Those stipends sound right, but the hourly is off, though the real hourly

We forget sometimes that the point of HS sports isn't to train up future pros.

The problem with this mentality is that it then requires more from the coaches
