Just an fyi. Classroom Teachers are paid for the number of instructional days taught. 9 months or 180 days. The summers off with pay, are monies they have already worked for and are owed. School boards pay them their 9 months salary over 12 months so as not to owe teachers 3 months of unemployment compensation.

Exactly… and the people who make the same they they do, working all year, with two weeks vacation are the people who laugh at bitching teachers.

Wahh!! Wahhh! I have to deal with pre teens in a classroom with heat and AC!! For 9 whole months every year!!”

Ok. Quit and get you a job in a furniture factory. Sit in the seat of a semi truck and stay on the road 90 percent of the year. Maybe with a concrete construction company. Oooh oooh! Roofer!! All of whom work all 12 months.

Teachers want to be paid like professionals, as they have earned a college degree.

But they also want to be part of a union, like they are a tradesman.

Teachers want to be paid more... but they don't want to be paid based upon individual effort and results.

I'm willing to pay good teachers 6 figures for 10 months of work, if I can easily fire the crappy ones.

And guess what? Start paying the good ones really well, and magically, you will have more good ones.

You're confusing "difficult job" with "physically demanding job". Is operating a bulldozer more difficult than teaching 30 ill-behaved North Baton Rouge 13-year-olds how to do math, or teaching them about Shakespeare? Remember, you're a teacher and not a presenter. You're evaluated on how much those ill-behaved students learn the material.

I would take construction work over teaching in inner city schools any day. No question.
