[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have nothing but the utmost regard for teachers.  Nevertheless, 100K+ may not be cushy for 8 months of actual work but with regular hours and a pension it doesn't seem that shabby. [/quote]

That's so true.

If you can find me a job that pays 100K with 8 months of actual work, and regular hours, let me know.  I'll probably quit teaching and take it!

-- 25 year veteran teacher, making 80K, contracted for the same number of hours as a fed working 10.5 months, who works many hours of unscheduled/unpaid overtime.

Seriously! I missed that post you quoted.

Who is working 8 months, regular hours, and making $100k?

I have 24 years plus a Master's. I'm not making $100k. 40 hours is a short week. That's not a complaint, just a fact. [/quote]

Agree.  17 years making $80K.  My best friend is a fed who works at home full time (although she certainly doesn't work 8 hours a day of her own admission) and has about 6 weeks of vacation a year.  She makes $120K+.  I took a day off on Tuesday because my son had a fever, but had to go into school that morning to make lesson plans and copies for my sub.  There are certainly benefits to being a teacher, it is not a cushy job.[/quote]
