Who the hell is Sam?
Teachers in Ky contribute almost 13 percent of every paycheck towards their pension. All non teaching positions in schools pay into SS.
The average American worker only contributes 6.2 percent of every paycheck towards their SS pension.
Teachers also contribute towards SS for every job they have outside of teaching throughout their entire work history.
You will be sucking off every Teacher's second job SS contributions in your retirement while you only contributed half of what they did towards their pension.

I'm not sure which is worse: Your math or your logic.
It only takes 44 quarters to qualify for SS benefits, so the vast majority of teachers will get both a very generous teacher pension AND SS benefits. Non-teaching positions pay 6.2 percent into the retirement system (teachers pay anywhere from 9 percent to 11 percent) but they also pay into SS, , IOW they pay into BOTH, and they do so for their entire working life. So, how exactly are non-teaching position retirees "sucking off benefits" from teachers?
Teachers get 1.5 percent COLA adjustments to their retirement benefits, whereas non-teaching retirees have not received a COLA adjustment since 2011. The state benefits that teachers get is substantially higher, as a percentage of their working salary than non-hazardous/non-certified state employees. The average benefit for a non-certified county/state retiree in Kentucky is about 2100 dollars a month. The average teacher gets about 3350 dollars a month.
You are grossly misinformed. And, as I said, your logic is absurd. And NONE of this includes the newly passed WEP SS Act which will prevent teachers from having their SS benefits penalized (current retirees will actually get retro pay)
You are clearly not cut out for this.
