The ignorance here is nearly overpowering.
In most other professions, you work under a written and signed contract. Half the time teachers are getting paid they are working under an expired contract because their employer is too damn lazy to get another one decided on. Further to this and compounding the issue is that teachers do not get bonus's nor any other sort of enhancement. They barely even get raises to match inflation.
At least if you work overtime you know that you may be rewarded for it at some point down the road. Teachers now are expected to do overtime (extracurricular programs) as part of their job.
If your really so bitter about the vacation time, why arn't you a teacher? If they have is great, why are you doing something else. Last I heard, those vacation weeks are unpaid (as in two months without a check). But I could be wrong here...
