[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher and people on here saying teachers work 10 months a year and get only 12 days are being disingenuous.  We do get those benefits but that is on top of every federal holiday ( yes I know this is a fed town but lots of people don’t get all federal holidays, including my private sector DH), the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Friday after, 1.5-2 weeks for winter break, February break and spring break.  That’s 4 weeks of time off where you don’t have to use your leave.  So really it’s not comparable to other jobs in that regard.[/quote]

Teachers are paid for 192 days. 185 of those days are instructional. Contrary to popular misconception we aren't being paid for federal holidays nor any of the breaks. and we didn't get a februrary break. Now if you wanna go into the amount of labor that is done outside our working hours and working days we work a lot more than 192 days but I digress.[/quote]

If you want to count up the number of hours or days you work and be paid accordingly, go get a job at McDonalds. If you have a salary, stop being such a crybaby and do you job. No one cares about your bellyaching. [/quote]

Nope.  They don't have to go work at McDonald's, and they don't have to work one second over their contracted hours.

You pathetically whiny parents are the "crybabies" who are "bellyaching."[/quote]

Most people who are paid salaries work until the job is done and dont whine about having to work on the weekends or at night or not being able to take off as much time as they'd like, and nearly all of those people don't get to take summers off either. [/quote]

Woooooow such hard evidence. [/quote]
