[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers work hard?  For real.  They work 3/4 of the year and have countless 3-4 day weekends.  They still get the same pay.  Sorry. I want the days made up at the end of the year.  [/quote]

A longer summer break is one of the benefits of choosing teaching as a career. But keep in mind, they're not off as long as the kids are, they spend weeks on professional development and curriculum planning. And during the school year they work 10-12 hour days and often part of the weekend too in order to not just teach but also fit in grading and all of the "extra" stuff.  Lastly, at least in MoCo, teachers only get 3 vacation days to use in the entire year.  If you compare that someone who does traditional 8-hour days with 2 -3 weeks of vacation a year, the overall time differences aren't actually different.  Good teachers do work very, very hard.

Getting back to OP, I don't think that such comments are inappropriate, but I agree with PPs, if it bothers you then block them so you don't  see it.  I surprised that they are friending parents of current kids though, I don't know any teachers that do that unless it's on a page specifically for school-related matters.[/quote]
