[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Woah.  Never ever did I say teachers didn't deserve their vacation time or don't work incredibly hard.  It is definitely a job I could not do.  I'm only jealous of that time off.  I wish I could be home with my own kids during the summer!  [/quote]

Just wanted to clarify something. The summer/spring break/winter break is not vacation time. We are not paid for those days. Memorial day? Not paid. Labor day? Not paid. You probably get a few paid holidays right? Our pay is divided to give equal paychecks during the year but those days are not contract days so we do not get paid. Hence, not vacation.[/quote]

This is such a silly argument. I get paid once a month, the exact same amount, no matter how many hours I work or if the month has more or fewer days. That doesn’t make some days in a 31 day month “unpaid.” [/quote]

Ok, when I was a teacher we received 10 paychecks per year, 1 per month for 10 months. I did not receive a paycheck in the summer. That is why I refer to it as unpaid because I was [b]not paid.[/b][/quote]

When I was a teacher’s aide, I made $9.75/hr and nothing in the summer. If you averaged it out to be a year round salary I would have been “making” subminimum wage. Now THAT is unpaid time. Teachers get a living wage for their year round lives no matter how you slice and dice it. [/quote]
