10 months? Really? Don’t forget a week at Thanksgiving, 2 weeks at Christmas, a week at Spring Break, two months during summer, 32 holidays....... You sure about those 10 months?
Thanksgiving - 2 days, Christmas - 1 week, Spring Break - Good Friday and Good Monday
And don't you forget about the required week before and after school begins and ends, the required conference nights, the days off the kids get (Veteran's Day,Columbus Day, President's Day, MLK Day) that I am waiting for parents to come for conferences.
Not to mention - I am not paid for holidays, I am paid for 200 and something days of work that I choose to spread over the entire year.
