This is a common misconception of uneducated parents with uneducated children. Teachers start holding meetings for the new school year in mid-august so really its only a bit over 5 weeks.

You also probably dont know that teachers work outside of school doing IPP's, Lesson Plans, Report Cards, in addition to marking tests and assignments.

They also need to spend there breaks doing supervision and come in early or stay late for meetings.

They get paid well because they were trained. Its a rough job and pointing at there salary and acting like a monkey makes you look ######ed because of the amount of work these people have to put in.

The sad thing is its probably your fault your child is doing poorly in school and you blame the teacher instead of yourself.
