Another teacher here. We had inservice days the starting the week of July 19th. Two days a week. Last Monday we went back on full contract and our kids start this Monay with 1/2 day and full time on Tuesday. I always when people say, "What are you complaining about, you get 3 months off in the summer?" Uh, NO. We end the regular year the last week of May. I teach summer school the entire month of June, and inservice and professional development start the last 2 weeks of July. We are on full contract the fist Monay of Aug. and kids are back the 2nd.

It's always over way too soon.

The preception of all the summer time off as a benefit to teacher is my second most frustrating soap box topic. The top of the list is:

What do they want more money for they only work from 8am-3pm for 9 months out of the year? (I wish!) The base pay for our county, with a Master's degree, is 30k a year. I made more than that as a day care director. Money was not the reason I became a public school teacher, but we all need to pay the bills.

I know preaching to the choir.

Stepping down from the soap box. Sorry.

Thank you to you and all of our teachers for what you do....every day. I for one and know there are other parents who really appreciate it.

Even if you didn't have those in service days and summer school, I don't get where people say "teachers have 3 months off". HOW???? Even here, school ends at the very end of June and starts up the first week of September. That's TWO months in my book and I know the teachers are back long before September.

What people fail to see is, most people who work and have been on their job for a while get the same amount of time off, it's just spaced out differently.

They also think teachers are "getting paid for nothing" all summer ---- gee, don't THEY get paid when they have vacation or holiday time from work???


I appreciate the teachers and the support staff and it just irks me to no end when people start with how great teachers have it blah, blah, blah!

Haha I could go on forever (I teach too)... what kills me is we aren't technically getting paid over summer... they hold money every week from our checks so that we can get a check over the summer and not have to budget our other checks. So they aren't paying me to "sit on my butt" (even though I am constantly planning over summer)...they are just giving me the money they held from me.
