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.

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.

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?
Six hour days. You forgot to multiply by 9/6. So let's start with 25 days. That is five weeks. Yes it is a lot.

Six hour days? Wow, where is that? Sign me up! We have 8 hour days (7:30 - 3:30), no lunch break from students, and after school activities ~1/week. If teaching is so glamorous in your area, why don't you go into the profession? It seems like a slam dunk, unless you don't have a four year degree and license or you are required by law to stay 1500 feet from school zones.

I think the process needs to be reimagined from the bottom up. We created regional schools so kids could have a more diverse academic experience. Now we can do that virtually. Now we know that commuting kids on buses and shuffling them around physical schools is unhealthy. Close the mega schools, re-open local schools, leverage technology to all the best teachers to teach more kids, and pay for it all by eliminating support staff and dead wood. VLACS.ORG is free to all New Hampshire students, but there are national options as well.
Beyond that the quality of teachers has gone down as higher iq women go into other professions and men are completely dissuaded from even trying. School quality in the past was based on limiting womens options, the model no longer works, and how scared they were of children in the last year proved the case against the "heroes".

Not sure I understand precisely where you are going with this, but I believe that primary education should provide children with the skills to function in our society and specialize is a field for which they have aptitude and interest.

I have been watching 'Turn Back Time: The High Street' om Youtube. In this experiment, a group of modern shopkeepers and their families take over empty shops in a neglected market square in Shepton Mallet to see if they can 'turn back time' for the British High Street. They live and trade through six eras of history. Kids serve as apprentices, learn a trade, and learn to work as part of a team. I think it would a great experience for kids to be able to learn a trade -- or at least investigate a trade -- as a meaningful part of their school career. Right now we simply drown students in training designed by people who have never worked for a living. Someone should have figured out I would never use calculus LONG before they made me learn it. No computer science course I ever took in school prepared me for my current work.

I am interested to know because I know it varies in different fields but if you take a day off do you need to leave plans for someone to cover for you or do you just come back to wherever you left off? A teacher takes a day off and they have to leave sub plans. Gone are the days of just putting on a movie, teachers should be leaving full lessons for the sub to attempt to cover.
Typically not, but you're oversimplifying the "pick up where you left off". For instance, nobody comes in to do the work for me, so the work tends to "pile up". So, if I take a week of vacation, my work typically doesn't get completed by anybody else. Because of deadlines, I need to catch up, and put in a lot of extra hours to complete the work I missed. As you can see, there are pros and cons to both cases. A teacher needs to put in work in advance to prepare their "substitute" to do their job, while I need to put in a lot of extra work when I return, because nobody is there to do my job.

California is a problem, but even the CDC has recommended teachers go back into the classroom because of the extremely low risk. The teachers fought not to return. Teachers are not being forced to stay out of the classroom. Teachers are fighting to stay out.
Our system hasn't missed a day this year collectively due to Covid. But here's a hint. I don't live in California.
