At our district summer prep is maximum of two weeks. Which is made up by the two weeks of paid leave most districts are required to give out a year - so it still ends up as 180 days.
Most summer prep is done by admins who are employed 11 months a year, and teachers get paid extra if they choose to teach summer school.
- vundercind 2y agoSummer classroom days are not the only summer prep. Lots of teachers also work summer jobs so they can be not-poor. Super common. (“But their wages aren’t actually that bad” 1 - in many places, yes, they are, and 2 - add a couple kids and a divorce and it’s extremely bad) It’s also why so many end up doing MLMs.
- frumper 2y agoYou're commenting on an article that puts the average wage for a teacher at 69k. That isn't a poor person unless you're redefining poor to be more than half the country. Are some paid lower, certainly. But on average, their wages aren't actually that bad.
- vundercind 2y agoAverage, yes. That includes a lot earning $36k-$48k.
