In Palm Beach County the students are in for 179 days. The teachers have to come in 5 days earlier than the student plus another 5 teacher work when the students are off - a total of 189 days.
They grade their student's test scores at home and well as set up a lesson plan on the weekend they need to turn in Monday. My daughter in law takes many addition tests to be certified in the areas of science and computers she teaches.
A regular employee can work a max of 260 days (52 weeks x 5 days). He can get up to 11 holidays, 15 days of vacation, 8 sick days which results in working 226 days.
Most don't have to take their work home!
So yes teachers work 16% less days. Did I mention my daughter in law has a Masters Degree in Education (very proud of her)? And student debt?
What would be the likelihood that the someone with a Master's Degree with 15 years of experience in their field would be making less than $60,000!
