[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lol teachers get a 3-4 day work week and summers off, nevermind parents work 5 days a week+ funding schools fully with heavy tax burdens[/quote]

And they’ll get the same salary and longer summers with a rational calendar.

Most accomplished teachers I know have summer jobs which are actually more lucrative than their teaching. Good teacher teachers will not object to more time off in the summer. The ones who make ends waitressing might.[/quote]

Teachers have 40 week days in the summer from last day of work in June to first day of teacher workdays in August.

The starting teaching salary in FCPS is $61,747. For a 190 contract that’s $324 a day. Or $46 a hour.

What summer job do your teacher friends have for 40 days in the summer that pays more than $61,747?

Or what summer job do they have that will pay them more than $13,000?

What part time job is paying teachers more than $40 a hour, for 7 hours every weekday, for just the 40 days they’re available in the summer.

Please post the job link because teachers will line up for this lucrative endeavor. [/quote]

I know personally:

Two specialized camp directors, one who is a HS language teacher and makes $55,000 for her summer contract, and one who is a special-ed teacher her who is a camp director at an overnight camp for kids with special needs and makes more (but also has some school year commitments to meet with prospective parents).

A HS social studies teacher who leads two, two week trips abroad each summer and is paid $15,000 for each  in addition to free participation for her kids and spouse.

I have heard of (but do not personally know)

An elementary school gym teacher who runs a sports camp and makes $150+

All of these folks would love an extra summer week.
