I'm done next Thursday!!! Can't wait to spend time with the family.


Just bc women bitch doesn't mean there's not others who love the job. I'm at a decent school with a solid schedule.

Most teachers I know work much harder than office workers and so on. Could you imagine having to deal everyday for hours and hours with the kind of disrespectful and ignorant pieces of shite in this thread?

This is a really stupid "saying" when it comes to academia. I've had plenty of professors who both "did" in the professional world and the academic world.

I guess it could apply to elementary/high school.

they are getting 3 weeks off for christmas again this year

she, like others I assume, wishes it was 2 weeks and theyd just make summer longer

3 weeks is too long



in regards to pay, lets say a certain parish teacher makes 45K over 182 working days

the normal weekly worker works 52*5 = 260 days - vacation and holidays so lets say 240 days


teachers salary of 45K equates to about 60K per year

my wife doesnt complain about work or pay, she's pretty content with both

Wish i could get 3 weeks off for Christmas

no one gets into teaching for the money....so trying to insult a teacher by telling them you make more than them shouldnt really have an impact JMO

insult? i simply said i would take my salary (which comes with my profession) over their vacation (which comes with their profession). There are many insults in this thread, if you think mine is one, you are just a big pussy.

maybe its because I read the OT, but I tend to read 3x as much bitching about teachers bitching, than I actually read teachers bitching


WHERE ARE ALL THESE BITCHY TEACHERS?

I wonder what % of teachers ended up teaching due to lack of options?

The teachers I know work pretty hard, although I'm aware of plenty of worthless ones.

Moreover, a lot of the things teachers use to compare their lives to higher paying jobs amuse me. Like "ugh, I can't believe I'm spending sunday afternoon working on lesson plans."

I agree, it sucks, and I agree, good teachers work hard. But what happens if my friend does a sloppy job on a lesson plan? Nothing, really. What happens if your accountant/doctor/lawyer/etc. does a sloppy job on something? Potentially something.

I do know a few teachers who live and breathe success of students, so I do think that piles on additional stress. But I also know a lot who bitch and bitch and then stop whatever super crucial thing the have to do and go out.

You mean the thread started so teachers could brag about all their vacation time?
