[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 130385, member: 1967"] Just let's make sure that you are clear on the fact that teachers DO NOT get paid for summers off. We get paid for the 190 days that we work and the amount is divided into 12 monthly checks. While you didn't say it, Wyntersgrace, I figured it would pop up sooner or later. It usually does. And let's head off the common misconception that all teachers belong to unions and get paid overtime. I live in a state where teacher unions are illegal. As far as the 60 hour work week, I brought that up because so many people have the misconception that we have easy jobs where we only work 7 hours a day and get paid for summers when we don't work. Of course, I don't look at every thread but I don't remember ever seeing a thread titled "Teacher goes above and beyond." Any praise that happens in usually thown in as "my child has had some wonderful teachers" in a same thread that is basically a teacher bashing thread. But obviously most people on this board are not going to see it that way and that is fine. If it makes them feel better to blame the school system or teachers as the cause of all of their problems, then so be it. I think it is interesting that no one has mentioned the attack on my friend. I guess stuff like that just doesn't matter. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
