>>Teachers don't get paid for time they don't work. We sign a 190 day contract. Then our salary is divided by 12 so that we get a check each month.<<

WHAT? My sister earns 54,000 a year for 180 days a year. My husband earns 50,000 and works 250 days a year. I would really like it if he got three months of vacation for that money. Divide it however you like.

I think your husband should have figured out he should go into teaching ,instead of hearing you whine about the differences in pay .

Pay is regulated by the state, or the local district, or a combo of the two. In union states, teachers do get paid more. In the south, the pay is low.
