[quote=Anonymous][quote]That's right, folks--if the PP didn't make it crystal clear, we ARE NOT PAID during the summer. We are 10-month contract employees who have to turn in our employee badges, keys, etc. when we leave the building in June, and don't get them back until August. (And yes, parents, this is why we might not respond immediately to those mid-summer emails you send us--we are technically between jobs). Saying that we are on vacation during this time suggests a PAID vacation--that is not what the summer is for teachers. Many teachers take on other jobs, or teach summer school to help pay the bills during this period. [/quote]

Do you get benefits during this time?  And, if you don't get paid during the summer, then you are paid a salary for ten months.  You do understand that you get about a month off during that time?

I was a teacher and I appreciate very much how hard the job is.  However, there are certain benefits that go with the job: time off.  Teachers should be paid more than they are, but right now, there really is no money.  And, no, I don't want to pay more in taxes.

I do think the stress of all this testing is awful and that it needs to go away.
