Just because you go on "Summer/Winter Break" they still have to deal with in service and activities during this time. Also the whole certification process is bullshit.

Some teachers do s*** while others are incredible humans

No

What was the average GPA? was it competitive?

IDK OP something ain't right about the fact that a fast food employee can make just as much money as a teacher.

It's the best school in my city and idk the average GPA

But how many days off does she have though because I'm sure she doesn't work more than 200 days in a year

Can you provide evidence for that?

Where do you live then OP?

I don't know man. Lotta times kids can be absolute pricks when you teach them. I agree our education system is s***ty but it just sounds like you had a bad experience with teachers who didn't care.

A good teacher that inspires and educates the class is literally an angel.

Oh that explains everything

She absolutely works more than 200 days a year and more than 40 hours a week, during the school year.

Like am I bugging? OP doesn't understand that theres a lot of countries that have underpaid teachers by a large margin. If he says he's from Scandinavia or Canada I'll be chortling

It's irrelevant the point still stands

Some teachers don’t give a f*** about students. They just teach enough to get through the school year so they can have the summer and breaks off.

Okay if you give me actual statistics for that I'll change my mind

40 hours a week is nothing lol

I can't speak for everywhere else, but the average hourly rate for teachers in Florida start at 15 an hour on the low end.

You can become a Wendy's manager after your first month working their and make that much.

If you take the time I put into studying and my hobby I work 20 hours more than her lol @Undecided

40 hours a week is considered "full time"

teachers are such a important part of our society they deserve to be paid more

40 hours a week is a normal M-F 9-5 schedule. They don't get paid OT, they're on salary. Its easy to say 40 hours a week is nothing when you're getting paid for overtime or not having to work overtime. How old are you?

They are really not you can teach yourself all of those things and I'm speaking from experience

I'm literally not getting paid at all lmao and I'm 16

Wrap it up. OP is in high school.
