No wonder, most of those teachers want to retire by age 55.

I’d have gone ahead and said that last bit out loud.

Sounds great, unless you end up teaching summer school.

You deserve the break! Teaching is the only profession where you have 30 clients all at once. Can yiu imagine your doctor doing that? Car mechanic? ANYONE? It wears you out. Summer is critical for teachers to destress and recharge.

Remember, teachers are not ‘off for the summer’, they are ‘in recovery’.

Meanwhile they have Alice Cooper singing School’s Out" blaring over the loudspeaker.

And today, he really loves his job. Too bad school ended, unless he teaches summer school, he don’t get paid, oops bad side of teaching. He can always try real estate sale during the summer, or get a job at JC Penney’s…

Last real day of school locally. Tomorrow everybody including the teachers will be focused on their first vacation weekend.
