Now, to find out how much I actually make per student. According to the little essay at the beginning of this post, the average teacher’s salary is $50,000 per year (not including health benefits, of course).I don’t make that much.But for the sake of argument and wishful thinking, let’s pretend that’s my salary.et’s get rid of my salary and pay me $3 per hour per student. As a high school teacher, I have different students in every class. So if you paid me $3 per hour for 6.5 hours, that’s $19.50 per day. Then multiply that by 91 students: $1,774.50 per day.
