I totally disagree with you, dhermesc, and I believe you are very misinformed.

First, no teacher gets 3 months off in the summer. Most are required to attend professional development and other various classes during the summer in order to keep up their certifications. If your wife is home by 4pm every day, then I want to know what she teaches and the school district in which she teaches. (Yes, I am a teacher). I rarely leave for home before 6:30pm. You see, because I TEACH all day, every period, I cannot possibly grade all my assignments at school. I do not work it into my schedule of lesson planning, because lesson plans are just that: lessons for the benefit of the student, not for my benefit to grade papers. I, therefore, use all my student school hours to TEACH, actively teach.

I guarantee that I and my coworkers work just as many hours as you do. Granted, there are some people (including but not limited to teachers), who work less than the both of us. But that happens in any job/profession. Not fair, dhermesc, to lump that on all teachers. If your wife works fewer hours than you, than she is of the minority of teachers. In addition (and perhaps more important than hours spent at the work site), I log many, many hours AT HOME creating tests, quizzes, homework/in class assignments, as well as grading all those pieces of work, all at home. I frequently go until 11:00pm on weekdays and every Sunday late afternoon-evening is spent on that same school work.

As far as your comment “short of getting caught having relations with a student on her desk she has nothing to worry about,” that is sheer ignorance on your part. We are held to very high expectations, perhaps higher than many other professions. I can get in trouble from my superiors for many things, none of which have anything to do with having sex with my students. And now that these ridiculous state tests have come out (a WHOLE other story), I can be fired for poor test performance by my students. I am held accountable for all test scores, even when students miss 10, 20, 30, and yes 40 days of school a semester! Can you be fired for something that you have absolutely no control over??

Lastly, no school district can levy its own tax increases!! If you had a college degree, I would assume you would know that tax levies for public school purposes are voted on by the public.

Just wanted to clarify a few items…..
