Your comment cannot be blank.

I am an elementary school teacher. 50k a year, health insurance is outrageous, (1200 or so for my family of 4) days off are nice, but work 60 hours a week during the school year.

If I didn't have my disabled veteran money to supplement my income I would not be able to do it. Not sure if these people commenting actually know what teachers make. (I'm in Texas, state makes a difference)

Teacher pay is garbage. I am getting my masters and moving into administration. More money, half the work, gonna be great.
Thank you for your service!
This is a very common misconception--teachers are *not* paid for the summer. Teachers are paid only for the working days of their contract (180+ or - a few days depending on the district).

Most teachers choose to spread their paychecks out to be received over the summer, but they are technically only being paid for Sep-June.

Teachers have the option of simply receiving larger paychecks from Sep-June, and *not* getting any checks for July/August. But most choose to have their 10 paychecks divided into 12 paychecks for consistency/simplicity.

Quote from wizwor :
When my oldest got home from 8th grade, he had a 'summer packet' that had to be completed and returned in September. It represented everything a high school math student should know. He took the test. Got 1/3 right, got 1/3 wrong, and did not know what to do with 1/3. I spent my six weeks vacation teaching that kid everything he was supposed to have been taught in eight years of public school. It only took six weeks of good teaching to catch him up.

The public schools are only a bill for me now, but, at one time, they threatened my children's ability to earn a living. Teachers are overcompensated and damn near worthless. Despite them, most of us get along well enough in the real world. In my sleepy school district (Timberlane in Plaistow New Hampshire), we had a teacher fired for having a 'consensual' relationship with a high school girl and another (middle school soccer coach and gym teacher) jailed for multiple counts of downloading child pornography.

Says a lot that you are going crazy remote learning with your kids. Probably a good thing you can dump your kids in a public day care center.
Six weeks vacationing huh? Teachers get two paid days "vacation" in our district and 7 unpaid weeks in the summer. Man, you must have it really rough. hug
Furthermore, I don't personally know of any teachers who refer to a student as "that kid", let alone my own child...
But thank you for the anecdotal evidence that all teachers are worthless and pedophiles because of the few in your district.

You haven't seen teachers from LAUSD. Bunch of lazy imbeciles and administration. And yes, administration people are as lazy as fcuk and getting more paid. We need to appreciate the good teacher and get rid of the bad apples with tenure. Teachers should based on the quality of teaching and NOT tenure.

Thanks for your service teachers. But isn't the movie theater first place one can catch a Covid? Hard pass

I bet have been going to one of these stores Costco, Walmart, Home Depot or Lowes for the last year, are you still alive?

Quote from JMBauer74 :
Teacher appreciation deal thread become teacher complain about pay and benefits thread. I appreciate teachers, but to complain about it is silly. You chose to go to school so you could become a teacher, then complain that it's not fair. More fair than working at McDonald's and slinging burgers and fries all day. More fair than sewing together shoes in an African sweat shop. There's always someone who has it worse.
For some context, the posts about pay and benefits were in response to troll posts that have been removed that were mocking the concept of appreciating teachers and claiming teachers are part time workers. Those that think that teaching is part time work are ignorant.

If someone is trolling, then no reason to take them seriously. Everybody knows there are a lot of great, hardworking teachers out there and sometimes the pay isn't all that great. I know some teachers like having most of the summer off and others grind out a second job instead.

Furthermore, I don't personally know of any teachers who refer to a student as "that kid", let alone my own child...
But thank you for the anecdotal evidence that all teachers are worthless and pedophiles because of the few in your district.
If you are not getting paid during the summer vacation, during spring vacation, during winter vacation, and for personal time, sick time, and holidays, you need to try another school. Teachers are contracted for 180 days. In those 180 days, they can (an do) take sick time, personal time, and sabbaticals.

Poorly designed and tested ID.me software is keeping thousands of people from renewing their unemployment.

Again, you're making blanket statements off of personal experience or pure ignorance. Our contracts are 210 days, which include two personal days. Sick leave must be combined with evidence of the leave. Most teachers forfeit sick leave at the end of their career (without pay). Lesson plans and grading are still required for days missed, and in all honesty, it is more work to leave a day of school than to teach. And yes, our contract is for 210 days, so we are not paid for summer, holidays, etc. Most folks in the commercial realm receive multiple weeks of vacation (six in your case) in addition to 10+ paid holidays. Sabbaticals are few and far between and are not paid. Find another profession to bash, or better yet, don't bash anyone at all and be a role model for "that kid" of yours.

Bonus: here's a math problem you can work on with your child.
52 weeks - 6 weeks vacation = 46 weeks
46 weeks x 5 days/ week = 230 days
230 days - 10 paid holidays = 220 days
The worker in our example works 10 days per year longer than our average teacher (assuming our average teacher doesn't have to do continuing education on their own time, which, is a poor assumption). Do those 10 unpaid days really warrant the degrading seen here in this post?

Full disclosure, there are a lot of teachers in my family (wife, 3 sister-in-laws, father-in-law, brother, and sister). I have an immense amount of respect for most teachers. Where do you teach that has a 210 day contract? Most schools in MN have 187 days of service. In addition, MN teachers receive 12 paid sick days, with up to 22 days for other compounding reasons. Up to 3 days can be used for personal leave, with an additional day granted for teachers with 10+ years of service.

In addition all public school districts across the country comply with the Federal Family and Medical Leave act.

On average, a salaried worker with 10+ years of experience gets 20 days of paid vacation, including holidays. So using your same metric for the averaged salaried worker, here is how the teachers in MN compare.
https://www.thebalancecareers.com...et-2064018
52 weeks - 4 weeks = 48 weeks.
48 weeks x 5 days/week = 240 days.

Excluding the 12 sick days, and only taking into consideration the 4 personal days, teachers in Minnesota are contracted to work 206 days compared with the national average of 240 days. On average, MN teachers work almost 1.5 months less than the example given, assuming both professions use all their personal days.

Speaking from personal experience, I get about 6 weeks of PTO, which includes sick time, personal days, and holidays. Assuming I were to combine sick time for both comparisons, I am contracted to work 52 weeks, and can take 6 of those weeks off with pay. In MN, a teacher is contracted to work 41.2 weeks, and can take 2.4 weeks (12 days) off with pay. 38.8 vs 46 weeks of in-school vs in-office. Compared to my wife (and other family teachers), I spend 18.5% more time in the office. We both put in a lot of extra time at home and at our jobs.​

I teach in VA with a 210 day contract. We do have FMLA, but it is unpaid leave if sick time is not approved or accrued. Furthermore, we must prove that sick leave is warranted and still must perform our planning and grading duties for any time missed. I know of no teachers who take 10 sick days per year except for those who have faced personal crisis (cancer, etc). Personally, I have taken two sick days in all my years teaching to care for my child. I have gone to school feeling miserable as I know I am more valuable in the classroom than a substitute. If I am blessed enough to lift myself out of bed, I will make every attempt to be at school.

As far as the 6 weeks go, I was using the previous poster's example of six weeks. When I was in industry, I had earned 5 weeks paid per year (had I stayed 3 more years it would have maxed at 6 weeks). That was in addition to 12 paid holidays per year. I have no doubt those in industry work hard, believe me, I've been there. I'm not seeking sympathy, I love having my unpaid summers off to work a 2nd job. However, the berating of teachers on this board is insane and unwarranted. Equating them to overpaid babysitters and part-time employees is a little excessive, don't you think?

Let's take some time to appreciate the irony of the undereducated ripping on teachers during teacher appreciation week

Teachers should be required to view the movies on Zoom . If they can't teach in person then they shouldn't watch movies in person
