[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2853772, member: 425"] Teachers don't get 3 month vacations, as you're implying here. During the summer they have to (a) spend a great deal of time after the year ends to finish up the year, which can take up to one month; (b) attend continuing education classes/seminars/conferences/etc.; and (c) spend a great deal of time preparing for the upcoming year, which typically takes more than a month. That's right, they are usually working at least full-time during the summer also. If you've never been a teacher, how do you know anyone's else's job is "much harder"? I've worked about every manual labor job there is, and also been a teacher; and I can attest for the fact that teaching is much harder in several ways. How do you propose we assess teacher merit? And how much should they get paid, for any given level of merit? [/QUOTE]
