[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers have the same frustration as so many in the middle class. Wage stagnation, demands for more productivity, pensions being attacked, increasing health insurance costs. I'm in that rut but I only get three weeks of vacation a year, not 12-15. [/quote]

It's not vacation.  It's an unpaid furlough.  Teachers have a contract that states how many days per year that they are required to work.[/quote]
This must be such a shock and surprise to teachers. If only they had known this before they went to college for teaching![/quote]

I'm pointing out that the "vacation" days are unpaid.   :roll:   Some people think that teachers get lots of paid vacation time.[/quote]
It can be paid if they choose that option. I have a teacher friend who is paid smaller amounts all year. For her it works. [/quote]

1.  Not all districts have that option.
2.  Her vacations still aren't paid.  She doesn't get to chose when to take time off.  Instead, she is told not to report to work on certain days.  That's still an unpaid furlough.  [/quote]
