But they put in about 65 hours per week during the school year, at least my wife does. I know a lot of teachers through her and they all put in the hours.

Sorry JERK, WE don't get 3 months vacation as you erroneously think. Idiots like you are the reason students don't respect the educational system. We have to work 2 more weeks getting grades in and Staightening ou room for next year.We have to attend conferences and workshops. Some even have to take College courses for further certifications. And we go back 2 weeks before the students. The worst part about teaching now is dealing with disrespectful brats and their entitled rude parents. Yeah,that's why no one wants to teach anymore.
