My daughter started Aug 10, will be finished June 24. You do know that they make up the snow days and must be there on the training days (mostly govt mandated "training"). Yes, they get holidays and vacations during the year, but she works 7:30 to 4 pm so not exactly a short day. Marking tests and entering grades is done at home at night (they are actually given a laptop to do this).

She makes a little over 50k but has her master's degree with dual certification and will add a third certification by the end of the year. One of her existing certifications is in special ed (which is what she was hired for).

I should add she is NOT union and not tenure track.

Many times snow days are “:forgiven”. * 1/2 hours (with lunch break) isn’t a “long” day. Marking tests and entering grades takes how long...especially for a spec. ed. teacher? I still think they are for the most part overpaid and underworked. Also, their pensions are ridiculous.
