I Only Get 1 Week Off for Thanksgiving

This thread is sooooo necessary.

But dem lesson plans, doe

Ok

I get paid a lot more than you and have 6 weeks off per year. You can have your 3 months and less money.

Hard to enjoy all that time off with poor teacher salary

Grading papers

Teachers are the only ones that do any work after class. You can't expect them to fit everything in a 7 hour day.

Congrats on being poor

I think this is what most people don't get. In most jobs, you work from 8-5 and you're done. Teachers teach their classes all day, and then they have to grade papers and prepare their lectures. It's worse if you're a professor, where you have to grade, prepare lectures, research, and do various other committee work.

Teaching was the only job I've had where my work followed me home. That's why I quit.

besides pay what type of benefits do teachers receive?
- pension?
- insurance, etc.?
