Really? My school does all of its purchasing (except emergencies) over the summer.

This is a fantastic idea. I quit to stay home with my 3 kids from K-12. Just returning back to work now in a field that does not have summer off and that is not making me happy.

No.

Yes they do. My daughter is a teacher. She gets paid through the summers.

No, her 10 months of pay are being spread out over 12 months. Most school systems allow you to choose this option.

That is because she opts to have money taken out of each paycheck during the year to create paychecks in the summer. I do that so instead of 21 paychecks each year, I get 26. It is quite a shock though in the beginning when you opt to do this. My paycheck drops by a few hundred dollars when I opted into having the pay all year option. So I end up with appr. $1200 net every 2 weeks.

What a narrow and weird way of looking at the world.

And if you are a foreign national the benefits I saw were amazing. Friends were flown home to visit. Private school paid. Canada university.

So not true!

Having had a business of my own for 14 years, I can say that you actually get no time off.

And this is one of the many reasons why teachers don't have my sympathy.
