I don't think a strong or even venomous tone is evidence of trolling.

Bent - I imagine your dad would have then been a workaholic no matter what job he had. That kind of a time commitment is not something that is required of teachers. If they enjoy spending their free time enriching themselves and their students as a result, that is wonderful. Again, a lot of people give more than what is required of them to their jobs, but it is not something taxpayers should be expected to compensate them for. I would expect the appreciation they receive from their students is gratitude/compensation enough. If not I don't see why else they would do it.

I really need to find a job like the ones you guys all seem to have. The law allows for two weeks off a year for the first five years of employment, topping out at three weeks off a year after five years with the same employer. I believe more than 50% of jobs in Calgary only provide the minimum time off. If anybody could find a stat on this, it would be interesting. I'm not sure where one would go to look.
