In my neck-o-the-woods, teachers by contract work 185 days a year.

The average teacher in America makes $70k. And it finish your math, they are working less than half the year. So effectively American teachers make almost $150k a year, and that's not even considering the massive above the line Educator Credit on the 1040.

No wonder there's no shortage of lackeys lining up to keep the Indoctrination Machine up and running.

There are about 5x52=260 working days during the year, excluding holidays and vacations. So 185/260=0.71. Not 0.50.

Most jobs work ~250 days a year (assuming a couple off for Fed holidays, Christmas, St Paddy's Day, etc. (and obviously weekends)), not the full 365. So really, teachers work 75% of the year, not half of it. They just got a lot of random days off, and decently long breaks with summer and winter.

And that 70 a year average equates to just over 90 at a full year of work.
