“Educators” “work” only about 8 months each year. They get “snow days” and “training days”, in addition. Education has become a scam from teacher pay, teacher benefits and teacher pensions. Then there is the school superintendent racket where they milk the taxpayers for high pay, extreme benefits and golden parachutes. When a superintendent fails, they move to another community where they parasitically attack the community. What a racket.

Don’t forget about the others that scam the taxpayer for higher pay like:

media coordinators
librarians
assistant superintendents
principals
coaches
dietitians (now really, how much does the screwl menu chage?)
finance managers
superintendents
superintendents
superintendents and more superintendents... the biggest grafters of them all.

We got by just fine with one principal that ran the screwl with an steady but very firm hand, a secretary, teachers, cooks and janitor. It was a big grade screwl.

After that I went to an even smaller screwl and then the edumacation gig grew a lot by the time I got to high screwl. For some it was quite lucrative... especially in retirement with near unparalleled benefits and early benefits. Wards of the state in their mid-50s.

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).
