You can set up your salary to be paid during a 12 month period or during the months you actually teach without receiving a check during those summer months.
He basically means, you can spread out your pay like above and, if you teach summer school, it's separate income. So, you are getting paid "double" during those summer months.

if you take summer off, you don't get paid for it. Yes you can request your salary be averaged to take it into account. It makes a 42K job into a 34K job though if you don't teach summers.
Either you explained this really poorly (in which case I hope you aren't an English teacher), or you don't understand basic Math (in which case I hope you aren't a Math teacher)

Well lets talk reality, not you alaska folk. Most teachers have kids and cant boot off to alaska for 2.5 months
Are you saying you can't find a summer job paying 4-5k a month anywhere but Alaska?

I see more people on TD complaining about teachers complaining than I have ever heard teachers actually complain. On the contrary my teacher friends, and wife, usually post great things about their jobs and kids.
Most teachers arrive early, leave late, grade at home, and spend a ton of their own money for their classrooms. Be grateful.

I love my job. I go to work with a smile and typically leave with one. My hours as a coach generally mean a 7AM start and anywhere from a 6PM to 11PM finish. Of the 52 Saturdays in a year. I will work virtually all of them except game days for LSU home games. I've driver education over the summer and lawn work in the heat of July. Such is life with two kids at LSU. I guess maybe I don't have time to complain. My one gripe, though, is criminals being protected through special education designations. It is a disservice to the other kids in school and to the police officers that will eventually deal with them. As for the week off, I just finished my driving my segment and merging under an 18 wheeler is always interesting. Still, I love what I doas an educator. As for the someone considering going into the profession, I would advise against it. Until the SPED issue is addressed, it isn't worth it. Just my .02.

If they're anything like the teachers at my daughters school, they look too hot to matter.
I mean all of them are HOT.

The system gamers know exactly how to get their kid referred to SPED to add another check to their collection. I'd guess that around 70% of students designated as SPED shouldn't be. Learned dependence is what it is for them.

They expect the whole world to give them the same attention their students are supposed to give them. Seriously, it's a condition.

I don't like listening to them bitch either. They chose that profession. That being said, having to teach a bunch of shitty kids must be tiring. Anytime a kid misbehaves or gets bad grades it's always the teachers' fault, not the kid's or parents'. My mom is a teacher. Every time she writes up a kid for misbehaving the parent comes in and rips her in front of the principal. The same happens when she flunks a kid. It's never the kid's fault that he/she didn't do school work. There's a lot of bullshite.

Don't forget that teachers also don't get to collect any Social Security even if their spouses work their entire lives and contribute and pass away before they do.

You can't be this ignorant.

It's true. I think teachers count as state employees and don't contribute to social security as a result. Instead they get a crappy 503B that might grow to $60k.

I didn't know state employees don't do SS

Yes, that is true. They don't contribute to Social Security and have a 503B instead. They do contribute to the Lasers system and have state retirement.

It's different in every state. In Fl they take SS out of our paychecks and we can collect SS when we retire along with the retirement pay.
Louisiana is one of maybe 15 states that don't let teachers collect SS. I'm not sure how it works in some of those states

Their hands are generally tied as well. These are federal laws that shield the worst of the worst. In short, in the real world, these are people that you would fire as a private business owner, only to find out your company is going to be fined majorly by the Feds for doing so. These "untouchable" students are usually an issue for society as a whole and the police in particular later in life.
