Stfu we all work during the summers planning for the new year and have to take second jobs to afford living in this state. We either have to budget for several months or take a decrease in monthly payments just to get a pay check from July to August.

Yeah, this bullshit will never work again no matter how stupid some people might seem to be.

Thanks to Chris Christie repeating horseshit like this over and over educational grunt workers (this specifically excludes admins) are still bringing home the same take home pay they were in 2010. All because the poor, poor private sector had to take it on the chin for a year or two during the recession. Now those greedy, underqualified pigs are raking in higher salaries then ever as they look down their nose.

You can fuck right off with your 'summer vacation' routine.

I can explain why this logic is bullshit but people who hate teachers don't care WHY they hate teachers, just that they do.

Alright so let's play out a teachers set up vs say an accountant. Nothing special nothing unique.

I'll use myself and my wife since I know the numbers.

1st thing to understand is that there are not well paying or even mildly reasonable jobs that are available for 2 months in the middle of the summer. So even in some magical world where they don't have planning and other shit to do to get ready in the summer at most you're earning what? $600/week for 8 weeks? So $5k for the summer to try to work?

  1. I made $92k as an accountant in year 4. My wife as a teacher can NEVER reach that number even with a masters and 30 extra credits. Not after 25 years of teaching . I made that with no masters no CPA just 120 college credits. Her regular teaching degree took more.

  2. Even doing the math on pension to count her pension salary and add it over her work salary annually and even if you grossed up her salary for 10/12 months ( which is nonsense but whatever) she will never come close to the earning power of someone with a college degree like hers.

This doesn't even consider the shit teachers are put through and the dozens of hours outside the classroom they do that isn't counted.
