A lot of people spend 12 hours a day at work. Most of them don’t get 2-3 months off every year.
True. Most of those jobs don’t involve trying to get 40 kids with no respect for authority to all work on the assignment, stay in their seats and make sure they are following silly dress code rules. Also, they have to constantly monitor for misbehavior all while trying to teach something and have principals pop in all the time, many of whom judge teachers despite having little classroom experience themselves in many cases. Teaching is unlike anything else. Without the break, I don’t know how anyone could do it. Plus, that time is typically required to take college courses to keep certification...continuing education stuff.
