[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8% raises would be insane...especially for a teacher who has summers off and a tremendous amount of vacation days (winter and spring break, holidays).[/quote]

[b]Many of us work over our breaks - planning and grading.  [/b]

But people in private industry work weekends and way past 8 hours a day. I'm the daughter of a teacher and my mother worked plenty when she wasn't "supposed" to. This argument is weak. It's not like teaching is the only profession that requires overtime.

fine

I didn't say I'm in this as a competition.  People make choices.

I teach.  Others choose law or medicine or engineering or communications.

I've been on the other side.  I commuted about 2.5 hours each day and worked 9 to 5.    Now my commute is 30 minutes.  My husband is at work in 20 minutes.

Again, we're doing what's best for our family.  But I'm not making $200K on my own.  I have friends who make that much or more.

again, choices

I'm surprised by your attitude, however - considering you're the child of a teacher.  I would think you would have more respect for the profession.  [/quote]
