But the average Joe doesn't get an 8 week break to look forward to in the summer time, or two weeks around every Christmas, and a week in late winter and a week in the spring and a lot of three day weekends. I'd gladly work more hours for 195 days a year in order to have a big two month vacation every summer. And the average Joe doesn't work in a job that they feel called to or that they have a passion for.
An 8 week break... as I said in a prior post... teacher are forced to work over the summer to make up for that loss of a paycheck for those 8 weeks... wt. tables, bartend, camp, tutor, or teach summer school... if the Avg Joe doesn't like his job, or FEEL CALLED to it, perhaps he should switch.
Do you even bother to read everything you respond to before you stroke your key board ?
As I said, I AM A READING TEACHER, and I do it quite well, thank you ever so much... however, I do focus my attention to parts of a post I feel more important than others... kind of like Math and Scienc I guess...
I wish people could live a month in the shoes of a teacher and realize how hard it actually is.... some people are too closeminded I guess to put themselves in another's shoes and realize things aren't always "Peachy Keen" in TEACHER LAND As a CERTIFIED NYS K-12 ART/READING Teacher (have my masters and can teach both) I find some of these comments absolutely obnoxious....
No one has said teaching is cakewalk thru the park. Show me anyone has said that, maybe I just missed it. But is it as hard as what the person building your new home in the heat of the afternoon sun is?

Depends on how many coffee/cig breaks that person has taken and if they actually enjoy the heat and work they do, now doesn't it?

And I have a great respect for what you do. One of my grandkids had a hard time with his reading and a reading teacher worked with him and today he is doing much better because of her. And grandmother makes all three them read everyday even on this summer break.

Yet as a reading teacher I deserve a fraction of what a Science teacher gets?

The ones I know/knew had a crew boss watching over them so there probably weren't to many coffee or cig breaks. And the heat is only fun in Texas when you are fishing.
