[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, how dare non-Christians celebrate their holidays. Terrible. [/quote]

Lifelong celebrator of the Christmas thing here...I would gladly give up the two week long vacation for the holidays. If we want to celebrate, we'll do it on our own time. [b]These kids are never in school[/b].[/quote]

They literally receive the same amount of instructional hours as they have. The calendar traded other days for these holidays. Stop the pearl clutching.

Thank you! The kids ARE in school for the required amount of days.

And, from a teacher’s perspective, I catch up with all my work on these “days off.” I can’t imagine how I would survive if I didn’t get the occasional week day to grade and plan. I guess I’d just take more sick days to catch up. [/quote]

Occasional?  Like every week.  You are very entitled.  Most of us with real jobs actually work 5 days every week ALL YEAR…[/quote]

Teachers frequently work 6-7 days per week, so perhaps the "day off" allows them to work only 5-6 days that week. They'll probably still work 11-14 hours each day, so "only" 55 to 84 hours. You're right, though, those teachers are so entitled to be grateful to only have to work 55-84 hours! What freeloaders they are!

I work approximately 50 hours per week, 50 weeks per year. 2500 hours. 
My kids' teachers work 65-70 hours per week, 43 weeks per year. Approximately 2700-3000 hours.
