[quote=Anonymous]Summer school underpays compared to the work that I can do during the summer (and have done in summers past) like tutoring or teaching at specialty camps. I know teachers who have worked as waitstaff at resorts and had a lower hourly wage, but earned insane tips. There’s also the mental health component. Many teachers need to get out of the classroom and do something else for two months in order to refresh and relax. Whether that is just vacation or some non-teaching work depends on the individual. I’m not working this summer because of a health issue, but if I was, I’d want to work anywhere but in a classroom, even if it paid much less than summer school. I taught last summer and started the school year feeling frazzled. Teaching isn’t my first career so I know the rhythms of other work not just the academic year. [/quote]
