[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I hope someone is counting how many days you're absent from work and telling people you don't truly work year round due to that. *massive eyeroll*[/quote]
And all that work that grades itself after hours, too. [/quote]

It's almost like a real job with multiple week-long breaks and summers off.[/quote]
Everyone thought teaching was so easy. Then Covid happened and parents got stuck with kid or three at home - and couldn't wait to get them back in schools.

Now everyone thinks they know how to fix teaching. But are terrified of being teachers themselves.  :roll: [/quote]
