Please don't perpetuate this. Any half decent teacher is going to spend summer looking at curriculum, block/lesson planning, in meetings, organizing their classroom, doing continuing education and training, etc. Sure, it's not as much work and it's more flexible during the summer, but it's by no means time off. Also, they work a lot more than 40 hrs/week during the school year. Also, they have a lot less flexibility about when they get time off. Also (in secondary/postsecondary), they have exams immediately prior to Christmas. (And yes, I bet you get Christmas off too.) And so on.

With such an incentive structure, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that there are a lot of NOT half decent teachers, and they get a lot of time off.
