[quote=Anonymous]In Fairfax county teachers work on a 194 day contract. Most regular 9-5 jobs have maybe 10 holidays a year plus maybe 3-4 week of sick time + vacation time. So that works out to 230-240 working days a year vs 194. For a teacher with 15 years of experience and a master's degree, they make $84,241 a year. That is a good salary for the working hours. A two teacher family would be making $170,000 a year. Even in the DC metro area that is a great family income. As for teachers reporting 50-60 hour weeks. That just isn't true. See here: http://www.aei.org/publication/how-many-hours-do-public-school-teachers-really-work/ The self reported hours that teachers work is around 43 hours a week, this is less than average of college educated white-collar jobs on average. Also from the BLS, looking at time tracking methods (which would be more accurate than self reported methods) the average teacher works about 40 hours a week.[/quote]
