I guess it depends on your stage in life and your priorities as an individual. I have a couple of friends that are teachers and they sure miss out on a lot of group trips that are usually planned around getting away from Calgary during the misery that is Jan-Mar or during low season discounts which coincides with school being in session. If your entire vacation scheduled is predicated around your children, being a teacher does make things pretty ideal.
I'd take my 4 weeks + flex any day over the teacher schedule even if I'm losing out on a week or two.
