    I love teachers. I am grateful for them.

    But man, what I wouldn't give to have two weeks off for Christmas, a week off in late winter, a week off in spring, and two months off in summer.

    Yes, teachers work hard. But so do most other people, and most other people pay more out of pocket for healthcare and retirement while working more hours per year.

    If you research the topic, you'll see a lot of conflicting studies on whether teacher pay is correlated with student performance. But even the international study recently trumpeted by the NEA showed that U.S. students are under-performing on scores by 50% in comparison to what would be expected given teacher salaries:



    If teachers want more pay and argue that it improves student performance, fine. But they should expect that pay and job tenure should be linked to teaching quality and student performance.

    Careful

    I like teachers because they tend to be cute and are always down to party

    Fucking heros.
    Can you imagine putting a garbage man, CPA or house painter in the photo instead?
    Can you imagine posting a magazine cover (from Canada?) without any context about what the cover article is about?

    Be a better poster!

    I think the teachers should be the billionaires.

    Protect the teachers from competition!!

    I might retire from sales and become a middle school PE teacher. PTA meeting orgies left and right, no quota, single moms everywhere....



    Sounds like you can't hit your quota. Keep making those calls buddy.
