So they're getting taxpayer money to the tune of about $3000.00 during the summer, knowing full well they have a job starting the last week of August.

This may be true in parts of America, but it certainly isn't true in Canada. Up here if a teacher had a contract the previous year, they are considered to be employed until the second week of September. So no seasonal EI for teachers.

You don't seem to have any idea what teachers do before and after the bell rings.
