[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today has nothing do to with Rosh Hashanah.  That is just Monday.  This is a teacher work half-day.

They just had a professional day and a 3 day weekend?  What the fuck. [/quote]

Yes and practically a 4 day weekend this weekend. This will be their 4th day off after only being in school 22 days. Those poor overworked teachers. [/quote]

My DH is an MCPS teacher. He leaves for school at 7 am. He works through lunch meeting with his students. He has meetings after school. Then, when he comes home - he grades more. Then after dinner - you know what he does? More grading and lesson planning. Over the weekend? More grading and lesson planning. He has 150 students. So spare me your sarcastic "overworked teachers" comment. [/quote]

He works 200 days max a year. He has 150+ days off.  So spare me your overworked teachers comment. [/quote]

You think he is just relaxing during weekends and holidays? Do you know how many times we are on car road trips where I drive an he is grading? Yes - he gets the summer off (which again - he spends some of it lesson planning for the upcoming year), but I think it is well deserved. Teachers are so under appreciated![/quote]

And do you get paid 70k a year like the average MCPS teacher, or are in BigLaw or something?

I work 50hrs a week AND work from home after I put my kids asleep. I also have zero vacation time or holidays off. I get Christmas, New Years, and Christmas. I usually go into my office on Saturday mornings to catch up. Most people these days do not work 8hrs a day. [/quote]

70K for 180 school days = 6 figure salary for people who work 52 weeks. [/quote]
