all your complaints

yes we get our summers off. NO we DO NOT get paid during the summer. You have the option to spread your 10 month salary over 12 months but you do not make extra by doing so. Most teachers save during the school year AND take on summer employment in order to make ends meet. Many teachers work for the school during the summer teaching summer school to student who have fallen behind or have transferred in from other states and need to meet state requirements. Teachers write curricula during summer "vacation". Teachers attend continuing education seminars and conferences on their own dime to stay current on topics and emerging practices in the field. For the garbageman comparison. With no disrespect to our sanitation department many of the workers do no have college degrees. EVERY teacher has at least a Bachelors, while many hold Masters and Doctoral degrees as well. We spend time and money educating ourselves in order to better educate the children. On average ANYONE with a Bachelors degree earns ~22k more than a HS graduate. Someone with a Masters earns 32K more than a HS grad.
