[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers get paid ok stop the bs[/quote]

And they get off 3 months for summer. [/quote]

You obviously didn't learn math from an FCPS teacher.  Teacher contracts end in late June and begin in late August.  That would be 2 months, which are not only unpaid, but into which many unfunded mandates are included, such as mandatory training.  Most teachers spend a good portion of their (unpaid) summer preparing for the next school year.[/quote]

Listen, this is just not a winning argument.  LOTS of people work uncompensated overtime.  Lots of people spend time outside 9-5 preparing for work.  Lots of people have mandatory training and credentials to maintain at their own expense.  None of this is special to teachers.

I actually don't have a huge problem with Teacher Appreciation week as my child's teacher is awesome and plays an important role in her life/development (though I dislike the week long PTA scheduled events).  There are perks to being a teacher as well.  The type of justification (above) really is not persuasive.[/quote]
