I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

Do most teachers teach just to get summers off? Kids have been so undisciplined the last 30 yrs. (at least in the U.S.) all the time off would be just about the only reason people would want to teach. Of course all the time off has been a big reason a lot of people have wanted to teach all throughout history. It was definitely true in my day. Of course many teachers teach because they enjoy doing it and really do enjoy kids.

"All the time off"? You need to get a teacher's perspective on all that "free vacation" they have.

@CoffeeFirst Three months off during the summer plus 2 wks. in Dec. and a week off int the spring. I'm not saying there are not a lot of good teachers out there but many do teach just for the time off. A lot will even admit it.

@Cloud7593 I don't know any teachers like that. The ones I know work during a lot of that time off, they have to because there is a lot to do. They certainly don't have almost 4 months completely off during the year.

@Seatscorcher Teaching is definitely not easy. I never said that.
