Location: Texas | FLITASTIC - 2017-10-31 3:02 PM I'm in my 21st year of teaching high school and I love what I do!! I make 125k a year plus coaching stipends on top of that. I have free healthcare, dental, vision, and psychiatric care if needed. I get week off at thanksgiving, 3 weeks off for winter break, one week in February, and 2 weeks for spring break. We are done with school by the first week in June. My district pays us 12 months so we don't have to worry about pay checks over summer. If I decide to do supervision at football games, plays, other sports etc, I am paid at 56.00/hr with a 4 hour minimum even if the event ends early.. Our SUBS in this district ( With only a bachelors) get 175.00/Day. I'm not going anywhere. Wow! That is 3 times what I make a year. I wouldn't be going anywhere either. Plus we don't have near the time off you have. I work 187 contracted days during the school year, have additional time through the two months off we have in the summer, we only get three days at Thanksgiving, two weeks at Christmas, one week for Spring Break and maybe one day off a month in the Spring, if we don't use the days for bad weather. We are required to supervise events for free, no additional pay. Oh and I pay $700 a month for health insurance, pay for dental/eye insurance.

We are contracted to 181 days a year but we start the first week of August and end the First week of June so thats how we get the time off. I'm in southern calif so no weather days for us. lol We are required to work ONE free supervision and every one is paid after that. I can't imagine your 700 a month for health insurance!!! Maybe the cost of living being greater here is why we are paid more who knows.. | |

Location: Texas | If I were to change careers I would become a drug rep too. Hours are good, no call, you get most weekends... you get to take people to lunch, and doctors/vets have to buy their product somewhere. My job definitely isn't flexible. and people can sure be rude. | |

Well, I had a first today. This year is 42 for me. I emailed a parent last week. Mom came to school today and junior was asleep. Cut to the chase. He called his mother a stupid old MF'er right in front of me. Personally, I think a baseball bat across the mouth would be better than licks. I told a teacher down the hall it might be a good thing that I don't have kids. She was laughing when I walked out. Right now the deal is that he cannot come back to my class unless he apologizes to his mother in front of me.
Just a heads up for you young girls on here, take a look at how your boyfriend treats his mother because it is a pretty good indication of how he will treat you.
Oh my Lord what did the mother say to him????
His mother said nothing to him. I assume this is common at home!?!? I made him apologize to his mother in front of me and wrote out a discipline report. Just sad.
I told the Assistant Principal that i could be a zoo keeper or a teacher but not both and I had thought they had hired me as a teacher. He did agree.
I could not be a teacher. I know I would end up in jail. My psyche isn't geared towards putting up with that. I have so very much respect for the ones of you that do it. Griz and I could maybe be cell mates and at least talk about horses  | |

| On the lighter side, one of my ex-students was at a faculty meeting this year. He is a coach. I said you must not have heard my DON'T BE A TEACHER SPEACH. He laughed. | |
