>>for 180 days work<<
Do you realize, teachers are NOT paid for the time they do not work during the summer. They are paid for 180-5 days [what ever their district mandates.]
How many paid sick days do cops and fire fighters get? Other state/city workers?
Teachers in Florida - and most States - have an option of being paid for the full year or the time they work. Because the ‘time they work’ gives them a higher paycheck, most opt for that... Also many teachers get part time jobs in the summer - kind of like ‘double dipping’. Please don’t cry for them... it lacks dignity.
