      Teachers work during vacations. They need to prepare the next school year. Instead of using this to fight for more vacation for everyone you choose to use it as an argument to wish for less for teachers.

        2 days off during the school year is insane, but teachers don’t really work during summer vacation. If the school picks a new book for their class then there’s work. They’re really just required to show up a couple weeks before school starts, at least in my state.

        My step mom and her whole family were teachers (5 total). Ranging from kindergarten to high school. I don’t think any of them had as little as 2 days off allowed per school year, but I imagine some districts could be that shitty.

        Are you joking? They ‘work’ about 2 weeks before students show up.

        Prepare what for the next school year? They follow a curriculum that is laid out for them and it doesn’t change drastically from year to year.

        I genuinely believe you are just going to say whatever you think will make you fit in with the crowd without even realizing it.
