My daughter is a 6th grade teacher with 5 years experience. She works many extra hours during the school year and the summer (including yesterday and today). The only pay she received was a couple days when she taught a course to others in her grade level within the district ( she was chosen for this task because of her skills and knowledge learned in her Masters program). I once thought of teachers having 3 months off during the summer. I now know better. There may be a few teachers who work minimal hours, but my daughter and her peers put more into a job that most of us could not do. She deals with kids who come from broken homes, low incomes, parents who have drug problems, etc, etc.
A proud parent of a GREAT Teacher.
