[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you need to leave for an appointment during the day, how easy is it for you? Teachers have to find a sub to cover their class. 
If you need to run an errand during the workday, are you able to? It's difficult for teachers to do so.
Can you use the bathroom whenever you want to? Teachers often have to hold it and then have to walk a long way to a staff bathroom.
If you will be out for a day, do you have to prepare plans for someone to do your work and find a person to work for you?

These are just a few reasons not to be jealous of a teacher, not to mention the kids and parents that one has to deal with every day!

Please, go volunteer in a school for just a few days and see what every teacher goes through. You will realize that that summer break is very needed and very well-earned!

My god. Teacher have demanding jobs. Many people do. They don't get paid a ton. Many other nonprofit or mission driven occupations do not either. During the school year, it's hard to take time off. Same with other occupations, although it's harder for teachers. They have to deal with kids and parents and administrators. Other occupations have complicated client relations. Some coach. Other occupations have similar non-essential duties tasks that are intense.

Teachers get paid 9 months of the year, or they spread out their paychecks.

They do not have to work during the summers and have many other vacations.That is a big big deal.

No, no, you just don't UNDERSTAND.  [i]No one[/i] has it as rough as teachers.  No one else deals with challenging and difficult people all day every day or has trouble taking time off without hoop-jumping or has to work into the evenings without OT pay or gets paid less than they think they are worth.  NO ONE!  And certainly none of those people has to work that difficult, demanding, underpaid, overworked job 250+ days out of the year with a crappy two weeks of PTO and a handful of holidays that may or may not be paid.[/quote]
