[quote=Anonymous]Some counties/districts may have the option of spreading out the paycheck over 12 months.  Mine does not.  I usually save my tax refund to live off of in the summer.  I do have to do a lot of tutoring though to make ends meet.  It is a decent salary but not in metro areas.  It is just too $$$ to live in the DC area on $50K with kids.  People mistakenly think that teachers have no childcare issues b/c they have the same hours as their kids.  My kids go to the before school program at their school b/c my school starts much earlier than theirs.  My schools gets out earlier but I usually stay until after 5pm to prep for the next day/week and go to a zillion (mostly unnecessary) meetings.  I bring grading home and do that after the kids go to bed.  So I pay for the before and after school programs which isn't cheap.  I am not complaining though b/c I am happy to have a job and decent healthcare coverage.  It took me years to get into teaching.  We lived very on mac and cheese for a few years while I subbed in order to get my foot in the door.  [/quote]
