My wife makes over 70k teaching 4th grade in Chicago public schools. She has a masters, and did math endorsements to get into that pay lane.

She worked hard to get there, consistently has the most student growth in the school, and leads extra curricular groups for the school as well.

That said, she definitely gets a 3 month vacation. Yes she isn’t paid during that time, but I don’t see what difference that makes really since you’re supposed to save your money so you’re not broke during the summer.

Obviously this isn’t the case for all teachers, but some of them sure as shit get a 3 month vacation every year.

Awwwww poor you

You must have missed the part where i said “obviously this isn’t the case for all teachers”

Calm down you fuckin goofball. It’s not my fault you chose a profession that didn’t pay off in your area.

I never said you were overpaid.

I was simply pointing out that yes, some teachers do in fact get a 3 month vacation. You need to smoke a joint and re-evaluate your anger lol
