I'm making half of what they are making and I don't get THREE WHOLE MONTHS OFF! (Yes I realize it's not paid, but still... it's 3 months off...)

I think this is a BS remark. Most teachers I know don't really "get off" in the summertime. In the summertime, they often have to take courses. Also, I don't think teachers are paid enough for what they have to go through. Try dealing with horrible parents and horrible kids all day long, and being blamed for it all.... I don't think many people can do it. My mom is a retired teacher and she woke up at 4AM every day, was at school by 7AM at the latest and stayed up until 11 at night working on lesson planning. I think ANY time off teachers get is well-deserved and I don't think I even hit the tip of the iceburg of what they go through. I knew someone was going to make that comment too!!!!
