Being married to an elementary school teacher, every time I hear someone say "They only work 9 months out of the year" I want to punch them in the face repeatedly. While the number of days they are required to work equals to 9 months they work many more that they don't get paid extra for. It is nothing for her to be at school by 7:00 AM, work until 6:00 PM or later, come home and eat, then start grading papers until 10:00 or 11:00 PM. so basically a 14-15 hour work day. It also is nothing for her to work 2-3 days out of her spring or fall break to try and get caught up on copies, laminating things, etc. Heck she only gets a 20 minute lunch break and this is if a parent doesn't want to meet with her during that time. Some days she doesn't get a chance to go to the bathroom all day until she gets home or school is out and the kids leave. So to hear the comments from Bevin and some legislators really makes my blood boil.
