[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]

I always say this b/c it REALLY hits hard.  So you won't like my response.

My husband and I, both educators, have been home with our children.  We've enjoyed the time with our kids, and while much of the time off was spent having fun, they also completed their work and finished projects due at the end of this week.

As part of our positions, we are expected to work summer days, but we trade off. So summers are not a hardship, as we're not relying on camps or other forms of childcare to care for our kids.

We are off during winter and spring break, which often means we can vacation together.

So yes, we have perks.  We have GREAT benefits.

And I truly don't care if you don't believe we work hard.  I really don't.  I know how hard we work, and that's all that matters to me.

But I DO know that you can't stand the fact that childcare isn't an issue for us. And you can't stand that we're able to enjoy this time with our children. It's pure jealousy.

But also remember that we have agreed to serve the public at a lower salary.  We're not pulling half a million.  So there are trade offs.

Again, you're absolutely nasty b/c you're jealous.  And if you're so concerned about the lost days, work with your kids at home. We do.

Enjoy your snow day. I am![/quote]

what's your opinion on waiver on summer extension? 
Do you think it's not a big deal to cut short several days off a school year? Will you welcome a slightly extended school day or you'd rather it be shorter?[/quote]
