[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's only unpaid because you choose not to receive a paycheck during that time.
My mother chooses the option to be paid throughout the year and her paycheck is spread out accordingly.

Oh, dear Lord.  
Teachers are paid according to the length of their contracts. 
Most teachers in FCPS are paid for 194 days.  That means they work 194 days and are paid for that.  
In the summers, when they don’t work, they don’t get paid.
If a teacher opts to have the pay spread out in order to receive a paycheck during the summer months, that means that the other months’ paychecks are LESS in order to pay for the months off.  The pay is spread out.  They are not being “paid” for the summer. 
It is still unpaid time.  [/quote]b

Yes, that's what I said. I thought it was obvious.
Why would you be paid when you are not working? [/quote]

Then, it is unpaid time.  Some teachers just opt to have their pay spread out.  
You said, "It's only unpaid because you choose not to receive a paycheck during that time.”
No, it is unpaid.  Whether you choose to have your pay divided into 12 payments or 10 payments, in the end, it is the same amount because the summer months are unpaid.  [/quote]

Yes, again, you are not paid because you are not working.
Your original post on the matter was filled with dramatic capitalizations about being UNPAID and I was simply pointing out you didn't need to suffer needlessly for 9-11 weeks, you could simply have your paycheck spread out.
You can't be saying you expect to be paid for not working.
