Teachers needs summers to recharge??

You needs to learn more better English.

Working 8.5 months per year is HARD.

That would actually be a grammar issue. Not English. But who's counting?

yeah, 8.5 months of work/year is far more grueling than 12.0 months of work on wall street or in any Fortune 500 Company.

Please explain to me how using the word "needs" instead of "need" is solely a grammatical mistake and is not indicative of not know the language well.

Seriously?

But who's counting? Counting what? "But let's not mince words" would have been a more appropriate phrase. And, incidentally, your failure to execute proper subject-verb agreement DID make it a grammar issue.

It's always amusing when the dumbest people are the first to criticize teachers. The fact that you obviously were incapable of grasping anything in their lessons does not mean they weren't putting forth the effort.

Bottom line: If you've never been a teacher, then your critique of the profession has absolutely no merit. Now get back to work; your customer in the drive-through is waiting for his fries.

Oh, snap!

I once read a facebook post regarding a teacher's need to recharge. I'll approximate what she said.

"You have no right to tell me that I have it easy because I have a summer break. Dealing with raucous kids for

Why did she cut off her post?

seems as if the teacher who has too much time on his hands got trolled

Teaching is hard. Most teachers I know work at least 12 hours a day but are only paid for 8 hours a day, and well underpaid at that.

Also most teachers I know work summer jobs or are taking classes furthering their education and earning a second degree or a masters degree.

I saw a documentary on the documentary channel about teachers. I remember one man teaching school during the day, coaching and working a night job because he had to work that hard to barely make a living.

Not sure about the U.S., but in Canada, unless they are teaching summer school, teachers are not paid in the summer nor do they TEACH in the summer so whether they need to recharge or not is irrelevant. Each spring they are laid off, and then recalled in the fall.North America is the only area in the world that DOES NOT respect education or teachers. They are treated like dirt. Go to China and see who respected educators are. Many colleagues have gone there to teach after retirement and were blown away by the respect afforded them. On the same level as physicians.

10 months plus summer planning, all for terrible pay--or to put it another way, super cheap child care for your kids. The value at $20/hour for 180 days at 7 hours per day=$25,200 per child or over $450,000 per 18 student class per year. And they get educated. Cost per teacher, from $15k or less for assistants to $30-70k per teacher, depending on place and experience.

Raucous laughter, clearly you struggled in math. Working from August to June is 10 months not eight and a half.

Grammar is a part of any language, English included. "English" isn't spelling and vocabulary.

HAHA, seriously Jimmy?

1) Thank you for agreeing with me on the grammar issue. It means even more to me given than you are obviously a teacher.

2) I'm glad that my grammar issue served its purpose. Which was to get these overworked teachers on this thread.

3) Please explain to me how posting a link was a critique of the article. Perhaps it's time for some continuing education my friend. They do require this for teachers right!?

Recharge bra! Life is tough for you.
