‘My wife decided she couldn’t pass up a great job offer to go back to work short-term and is currently working with special ed students on an educational diagnostician contract for 215 days. She was offered one for 255 days.’
I am not disputing your wife’s contract, but your point is anecdotal; by introducing it, you are attempting to posit that all teachers work extended hours by contract; again, they do not...
I'm not saying they did. I was disputing that articles' insinuation that all teachers only worked nine months, and they do not.
