I think Slava's comment is telling on this discussion. Are people pissed because we think teachers are overpaid/over vacationed, or is it aggravation because they aren't available 5 days a week for pseudo- daycare? These are two very separate issues.

then things have certainly changed. my friend is a teacher, her last PD day or whatever had a seminar from like 9-11 then was meeting the other teachers at a bar, I met them there at noon for lunch and stayed all afternoon.
