[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3% is a perfectly reasonable COLA.

I think plenty of us would be okay paying teachers more if they were full time, year round. Teachers forget how much time they have off when they’re comparing their salaries. 80k would be 100k if they worked year round and got 3 weeks vacation. [/quote]

FCPS teachers work 195 days. People who work all year with no vacation equals 260 days. Subtract your three weeks of holiday/vacation and you have 245. A difference of 50 days. But here is the thing….

Most teachers put in over 40 hours in a week which adds up to additional work days. So in reality the difference could end up being a lot less. Also many professional jobs get more than 3 weeks vacation. My husband is a fed and has enough vacation time to take off more than 3 weeks a year. [/quote]

Many salaried jobs are not just 40 hours. On average I work roughly 50 hours a week and my husband works 60 per week. Not a valid argument bc the same thing happens in the private sector. [/quote]

Yes. But the point is teachers are working more than 195 days a year. With all the overtime hours they put in it adds up to more days. This is in response to a PP who said if they worked all year. [/quote]

Ok and private sector professionals work more than 260 days per year. [/quote]
