I believe that is the summer months off. Here in Tejas thay can choose to be paid for nine months or over the twelve. However they in wisc are over compensated by laughable amounts. I say this considering results they are providing. I don’t care about test scores. I can tell you that my curriculum in highschool was much more difficult than what these kids are tested at today.
No, it is not the summer months off. They were getting 90 paid sick days a year during the school year of 183 days.
The unspoken reason that you (and I) learned more in high school...
We gave a crap. Or were raised to. It doesn’t mean we WANTED to go to school, but when push came to shove, deep down we knew why we were there.
Kids today, not so much. They aren’t raised to give a crap about school.
