So they're being fairly paid then.
My point exactly. In fact the article spells out that teachers wouldn't come anywhere near their salaries in the private sector yet they all seem to think (Groupthink)they are underpaid
I don't really that most teachers really do think they are underpaid.
I think many of them might think that they are overworked, though.
Overworked. That's funny
10 weeks off in the summer
Winter break
Spring break
All holidays during the school year
Teacher "Development Days"
Yeah getting 14 or 15 weeks off a year is really being overworked.
Ever teach fill time, skull?
I have.
Its much harder to do well than you think it is.
I couldn't believe how much easier working in the private sector as a consultant was compared to carrying a full teaching load. Paid a lot better, too.
Admittedly I missed those summers off, but as I usually had to work in the summers anyway, so it wasn't like I missed them much.
