    Do remember teachers generally have three full months of off time every year, in addition to the above mentioned days.

      Do remember that teachers generally work far, far longer each day than just 9-5. Their paid hours often don’t give them time for lesson planning and marking.

      Do remember that their “summers off” (which are often used to prep for the following year) are unpaid. Do also remember that when a person has been extremely stressed, their immune system will kick into high gear, helping to ward off illness during a time when energy is needed elsewhere. I.e. every paid break is spent being sick because your body finally went back to a normal immune system as you decompress. This, in turn, makes it difficult to enjoy your only actual vacation time.
