Also to add on what WhiteDaisy said, there is year-round school, and even for school districts that do not have a year-round calendar, many teachers teach during the summer (since there is a thing called "summer school") On days that kids don't have school, many times teachers have 'staff development days' or workshops, so they still have to go to work.

I definitely agree with AGDee's statement: "I think we should pay teachers as much money as we can. They are performing one of the most important occupations in this country."
