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...)

HAHAHAHAHA you'll never understand? I get up at 5 and sometimes go to bed by midnight......after all the coaching and grading and preparing for the next day is done, and trying to help the junior class get their prom together that is in a month and a half, and getting a bite to eat in there somewhere. I barely make 30,000. OH, and then I have to drive almost 2 hours so that I can finish up school for myself. We have more contact with kids than most parents do during the school year. THEN we get to put up with parents if they think we looked at their baby the wrong way. If we didn't get three months off, there would probably not be ANY teachers left on the planet. OH and it is a paid 3 months. I think those three months make up for all the extra crap we have to do during the school year.
