Largely because people in the private sector work far more hours.[/quote]

The "extra hours for free" and "unpaid overtime" comments make me roll my eyes.  Do teachers realize that other professionals are classified as "exempt" and do not get paid overtime?  "Overtime" is a concept for non-exempt employees.

Oh, and summers?  MCPS pays teachers for spending time on workshops, etc.  Is that not "overtime"?[/quote]

Back to add, and union protection?  Other professionals do not have this.[/quote]

It depends on the summer workshop. It certainly isn’t “time and a half” pay. Sometimes, you don’t get paid for summer trainings at all.

Some of my cousins and a few friends are nurses and they get paid overtime. Are nurses not professionals? My daughter doesn’t paid overtime, but she gets comp time off and I’d rather have that even more than overtime pay.[/quote]
