And teaching mostly spoiled ungrateful brats, and a handful of kids that will actually respect you. Be unable to protect kids from bullying. Be grossly underpaid, and overworked requiring the vast majority of summer being unpaid yet still having to prepare work for when school is back. Be legally unable to defend yourself if a child/teenager attacks you. Watch as the future youth have to learn from old material you know is outdated. the joy of once again eating like a college student because you cant afford much luxuries. Dyeing inside a little every so often till you stop caring a several years down the road. Feeling better about life once you stop caring about those your supposed to teach. sometimes taking pleasure at punishing kids excessively...because you can and your the adult.

It's not 3 months holiday it's 9 month salary paid over 12 months.

I'm pretty sure the hours are not reasonable if you want to do a good job. And there's often training you have to do during summer....

The way my sister in-law puts it, her school system pays her for a year, she works a 7 hour day, and get a 3 month vacation in the summer (in the school system she works for), she does have to deal with other people’s brats though.

Three months of summer holiday. HHHHAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! What a laugh!

Oh... you weren't joking?

Uhm... if you're off for summer break as a teacher... you're not a teacher... you're a substitute at best. Teachers don't get summer break off... that's when they go to meetings, lectures, planning meetings, certification boards, and attend conferences and such to learn more about teaching, education materials, and techniques.

If you're NOT doing that... you're not a teacher... you're a "professor", or a sub.

Daughter in law teaches german and english in high school. I think it took her 8 years altogether. Kind of Master degree plus 2 year evaluation in school with watched teaching units with grading. For high school. She can do another step that would be equal to PhD.

Not that easy job. I think Shiera is in elementary school? That might be a bit easier.

One of ze ‘perks’ of a former job... was ze joy of helping teachers who taught in ‘low income’ school districts get zheir Federal Perkins Loans ‘cancelled’.

Ze way it worked was zhat loan payments and interest were deferred while ze person was teaching in a qualified school district. Zhen 15% of ze principal balance was canceled for ze first year of qualified teaching, 15% ze second year, 20% ze zhird year, 20% ze fourzh year, and finally 30% for ze fifzh year. I believe ze idea was to use zhis to ‘supplement’ zhe lower salaries being paid to teachers in lower income districts.

It was bozh a joy and an honor to sends a teacher zheir original promissory note back marked “Paid in Full” upon full cancellation... happy old yinglet noises
