Well... Hello.Palatial benefits? You really should lay off the drugs and alcohol while posting. BTW, I guess you are another know-it-all talking about "time off".
As a teacher, a typical day began with a 45 minute commute to work. I still arrived 45 minutes to an hour before the students. I normally did my planning for the next day after school and then coached sports, the pay for which was below minimum wage because it was paid by the season. Another 45 minute commute, and I would often get home by 7 pm if I didn't have a game to coach. After dinner, 2-3 hours grading homework was required. Then, it was crawl off to bed so I could do it all again the next day.
Summers we were required to do 80 hours in-service training at our school and if the district required, even more. Any other time I was not working, I was usually looking for another job because schools like those fresh young things straight out of college because they could hire two of them for my meager paycheck, That should give you an idea how bad the starting pay was.
Got any other misconceptions of what a teacher's day was like? I did it for 19 years and was an assistant principal almost 2 years.
What do you think about "No Child Left Behind" and "Every Child Succeeds"
