what jobs besides teaching give you the summer off?

[Anonymous]

OP, you can also look at this from the other direction. What activities/camps would your kids be interested in, and how much time would that cover? My kids go to sleepaway camp for 7 weeks (ES aged), so I buckle down and work hard for those 7 weeks, and then take vacation and an occasional telework days for the remaining break time. (Three weeks for us in FCPS.)

The kids have a blast at camp, and I don't worry about having to balance work/camp/summer schedules.

Are they asking for your sympathy?

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.

I’m a teacher and get paid an annual salary, so yes, I get paid over the summer. I work for 10 months, but my pay is annual. If I got paid an annual one time lump sum I’d still be paid for the whole year.

Have a great summer.

Depends on the school district and, in some cases, who you are -- in my dad's, you could pick whether to get paid over 12 months or just 10.

geez ... 10 vs 12 months, it's the same amount of money.

All this talk about summer pay for teachers makes you all seem pretty dense.

I work in local government in the court system, and things slow way down in the summer. We don’t have them off, but it’s much easier to be flexible, take time off, etc. it may vary place to place though.

Our school has a secretary, a book keeper, and a library assistant, none of whom are teachers and none work summers.

I’m a SAHM would not take a job that went through the summer. I love the summers and the stuff we do (swim team and extra travel) would be impossible if I worked.

Lobbyists can often take August off. But honestly I don’t find arranging camps to be that bad and my kids prefer camps like Calleva to hanging out at home.

Great! We’ll be sure to look for you in the next thread by teachers crying about how awful they have it. Remember to respond that you’re a teacher too and give no f*cks. Buck up buttercup!

Doing what at the WB?

NP. DH isn't at the World Bank, but his vacation/ time off schedule is similar. Six weeks paid, all federal holidays, ability to telecommute. He works in the IT department at a non-profit.

When teachers "cry" about how "awful" they have it, want to guess what the number one complaint is? I'll give you a hint-- it's asshole parents like yourself. Have a great day, buttercup!

Have you read your contract. Mine specifically says that I am paid for only 10 months, not 12.
