But that’s for 9 months work.


Actually, it’s more like 10.5 when you consider all the days teachers are there without kids. Considering most professional jobs have 2-6 weeks of vacation every year, theres really not that much difference in time actually working.

Teachers get off for spring break, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. on top of having the whole summer off.

So yes, there is a huge difference in time actually working.

The kids are there 180 days each school year. So 6 months. The average teacher is not working an extra 4.5 months without students. That's just a lie. Now if you're talking about coaches, especially those that do strength and conditioning, that's accurate.
