I'd say they put in pretty close to 50 hours a week through a pretty solid chunk of the year. My brother more than my dad, as my dad is established, got the courses he wants to teach and has taught them for a while. My brother's in his second year, so there's a lot of prep and learning.
But the idea of having a 6 week completely uninterrupted vacation over the summer every single year is incredible. It really is hard to beat. And that's just the start of their vacations. Crazy.

How many actual days are teachers required to work? Theres Summer, Easter, Christmas and the various other holidays.
Even take all of their prep work and volunteering and everything else and spread it over a standard work year and where do they fall?
Even this weekend, Monday is a holiday and I guess Friday was a 'Professional Development in Vegas' day?
