[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$50k is nice, but it's hard to support a family in this area without another income. It's ridiculous.[/quote]

The salary is a bit misleading because of working 9 months. take the salary divide by nine then times 12 is the real salary,  that ls not including the gold plated health and ension benifits.[/quote]

Where do people come up with nine months? Around here teachers work through most of June and go back in September which leaves July and August when most teachers I know are taking continuing ed classes or material for the next year.

So true.  I am out of my classroom around June 20 and back in around Aug 10.   School in the District doesn't start after labor day.  It usually starts around Aug 25.  I work at camp in the summer.  Take about three weeks off in July to be with my family at our lake cottage in upstate NY to rest and regain my sanity so I can start all over again.  I teach Pre-K.  It is physically and emotionally tiring, but I pretty much love it.   Can't imagine being in a desk job.[/quote]

Yes, but you get 2 weeks for Xmas. 10 days for spring break. 4 days at t-giving. Columbus day. Labor Day. that's a lot. And not everyone has a family with a lake house that they can stay at for free. [/quote]

Whoa. What school system gives a nearly a 2 week spring break, 2 weeks for Christmas?

Federal holidays is standard for many jobs. So is vacation time. Only difference is teachers can't pick their vacation time. And I personally think there should be summer inter session programs (some schools already do this). [/quote]
