[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a lot of these parents are just angry they didn't become teachers for the sweet snow day benefits.[/quote]

Applications are open for next year. [/quote]

I love how you all think this is some clever gotcha instead of a tone deaf assumption that parents can't possibly have their own jobs that are important to the functioning of society. [/quote]

I'm not that poster, but a lot of the posts suggest that teachers have some easy-street gig.  Considering we live in a capitalist society where people can easily change jobs, if it was really such an easy-street job, they would be flooded with applications.  But they aren't.  Which suggests that there are other reason why people don't view it as a desirable job, despite the snow days -- either the pay/benefits, dealing with kids/parents/ the bureacracy, etc.  Personally, I don't think I could deal with being at work consistently by 8 a.m. each day -- that's my big reason for not applying for a teaching job.  My kids also say I would be bad at the discipline and kids would walk all over me, which might be true.
