Teachers in Catholic school really do get paid crap. I know teachers always bitch about their pay. But these people really do it for the love of the kids.
Yes, they do.
The public school teachers only work a fraction of the year...36 weeks out of 52. My husband worked 254 days a year, or almost 50 weeks of the year...nine to five with ONE week off. THAT is normal for many jobs.
Teachers, and I was one, are the BIGGEST whiners in the world. Many really believe that their nine to three job of teaching is FAR more difficult and it's really like seven to seven. Wah, boo-hoo.
