[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers make decent money compared to similar professions that work 12 vs. 10 months.  They have a contract that specifies the number of work days to income and that is what it is.  However, you aren't going to get top people to teach at a HS for that income as anyone good at what they do wants a professional job with more income.  [/quote]

Teachers don't work for 10 months. Maybe 9 if you're being generous. Most are out a couple of times a month it's comparable to 160-170 days/year tops.[/quote]

As a PP already stated, teachers work 193 duty days from 8/22/22 to 6/20/23 this year. That is 10 months.[/quote]

Maybe they're supposed to but my kids teacher are out at least 3-4 times search month so it ends up being a lot less.[/quote]

Again, I’m a government contractor. I work 6 months a year. Are you trying to tell me that just because I work half the year I’m not entitled to sick days when I’m ill? Days to take off because I need to make medical appointments? Days to take off for personal reasons because personal reasons happen all 12 months? You’re not entitled to a teacher’s time. They sign a ten month contract and within those ten months, guess what? Real life happens. Teachers are real people with real lives going on at the same time. They don’t owe you anything. Get that through your head.[/quote]
