[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer School and Tutoring is all optional and is not part of the teaching contract. If your job is hard, I want to hear about your actual teaching job, not how hard it is to fit in some side job. You picked a job with retirement benefits over current pay. That's a trade off that means less pay each year, but coverage over more years.[/quote]

I don't work or teach during the summer now that I have children. I do usually take a class or two. Summer are great! During the school year, I'm at work from about 8AM-4:45PM and work at home for at least a few hours each week. I'm pretty focused at work and the only time I'm not actually working is for about 25 minutes at lunch. I've been teaching the same grade level for many years, but there's still lots of planning, grading, and parent communication. There are always new initatives that we have to plan for and impliment, and only sucky teachers just use the same lesson plans every year. Plus I'm the team leader, and we have a lot of new people on our team resulting in more time needed for collaborate. [/quote]
