[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s so hard to hear about this, especially, coming from a profession that actually has insurance, a pension, a decent salary (know and have teacher friends that make way more than me), a couple months off in the summer and most of the school holidays off. My employer doesn’t offer insurance so if I want it, I have to pay out of pocket. I’m sure it’s annoying for everyone and I’m sorry teachers and families are having to deal with it but there are a lot of us who wish having to change providers was our problem. [/quote]

They don’t get the summer months “off”. They aren’t paid for them.  :roll: [/quote]
Tone deaf again.  Teachers emphasizing that their summer breaks are unpaid, while they get more paid leave than most US workers get in a whole year just in the months between November and March... is maddening.  We all know your job is hard... but there are perks and you know it.[/quote]

My spouse worked for a company that provided FIVE - FIVE - paid vacation days. My spouse had been working for over 25 years when this company took over. 
I am very grateful for the really great teachers out there and I do believe our country overall undervalues and underpays teachers. But I'm tired of the complaints about every single thing here, acting as though nobody in any other profession endures the things they as teachers must endure. I think they've trapped themselves into their own little bubble and are out of touch with the real work world.[/quote]
