"Let's not forget the grueling hours they work - What is the worst case? 8:00 to 3:00? And how many half days do they get? And here in the NY, a few flurries an a Monday or Friday gets you a three day weekend. It is not like they are working 50-60 hours a week like us mortals.
Underpaid my arse."
Not working 50-60- hours a week my arse (it's a big one). :) Actually, I often work more than that, even on some vacations. SOME work the 8 to 3, OTHERS do not, it depends on the teacher.

Let me see if I have that right. YOU work 50-60 hours a week, sometimes more, and you work on holidays and weekends. Other teachers just put in 35 hours -- and only during the time school is in session, and maybe the week before and the week after. And that teacher and you get paid the SAME? Is that what you are saying? I really find it hard to wrap my mind around that one.
If so, why do you consider yourself overworked and underpaid? I can think of a few other descriptions for someone that would work 60 hours for the same pay as a colleague that works 35.
