re: Ok teachers, what are you least looking forward to this year?

You have 2 years from being fully vested in great insurance for retirement.

20 years from being fully vested? You sure about that, hoss?

“Trying not to frick the hot junior.”

Only having 3 months off each year instead of 4?

It’s part of the culture. They don’t put education high on the priority list. Also, parents put all the responsibility of the teacher to teach and zero on their child to learn. I mean look at this poor school in Asia but the students are so well mannered and eager to learn.

The other teachers.

With standard "bank" holidays and 2 to 4 weeks of vacation
most professionals work 230 to 240 days per year. Or, about 65% of the time.

Teachers work 182 days per year. Or, about 50% of the time.

I think most of the difference lies in one's ability to totally mess around while at work. I've worked at plants, I've worked on the pipelines, and I taught for nine years.

See above big fella.
Teachers work more in 182 days than most desk jockeys work in 235.

Hiding out from everyone in the teachers lounge until the end of the day.

In Louisiana the max benefit for medical insurance is reached at 20 years. At least for all the parishes in CenLa. Max retirement benefit is 30 years.

You really think they do? Education has changed so much in the last 10or so years.

I promise there are a lot of teachers doing shite they never knew they would be doing- instead of “teaching”. There’s a reason there’s a shortage- and getting worse.
