I'm annualizing the numbers since people always look at it in terms of a 40 hour work week for other jobs in which people get 2-3 weeks off a year. Teachers simply don't work a 40 hour work week on average.

And it is nowhere near 3 months off. that is actually not a question.


Do we forget about the week off for Thanksgiving, two weeks off for Christmas, a week off for Easter, days off for spring break, some mother frickers have a fall break now, and New Orleans teachers are off several days for Mardi Gras.

Compare that to someone with a real job that gets about 8 paid holidays. I love my job and make a damn good living but GTFO about it not being at least 3 months off for being a teacher.

Decorating their classroom? That's not a requirement.

It's not like you can reinvent the wheel. Why not just use old tests

Real jobs don't have PTO and sick leave? Why do you ignore that?

Just about everywhere teachers get pto/sick/vacation days and I believe they usually can roll them over.

I'm sure their job pays real bills...I don't know any other qualifications for a "real job". I bet you sitting in an office isn't a real job compared to others.

I really wish I could answer that question. It's something women came up with. I had an administrator who wrote me up one year, because my room "didn't look elementary enough." Whatever the frick that means...

Dont what? Are you talking about someones $50K starting claim? That wasn't me, but I know for a fact my mother got ten days of personal leave per year when she worked for STC Parish Public Schools.

Edit: also fin, if you're using those links as a "gotcha" for starting salary, its a poor example. I started at $45K out of college in CM. $44K starting is not a terrible salary, and that doesnt include the freaking awesome healthcare and pension benefits teachers get.

I've thought about teaching. May possibly still consider it if I can't get into another masters or doctoral occupational therapy program.

That will be my back up plan. Go through troops to teachers program
