That teachers get 2 months of paid time off a year has to be one of the more sinister myths spread about the profession. They are only paid for the days they teach plus the 10 or so holidays they get. If they actually got paid for those two months off, I don't think that we'd be having any conversations about how poorly teachers get paid.

One punch to the groin to whoever says that they get paid enough as it is.

Even worse when fewer hours count as "full time."

If they got paid for those 2 months off, I wouldn't be seeing so many of them working as cashiers for minimum wage during the summer.
