Why I Chose and Love Being a Teacher......

Summer vacation of course. I can't imagine having a regular job without two months off in the summer. Yes I said two. Most people are under the impression that it is 3 months, but somewhere along the way it has become 2 months and sometimes a week off. It seems to get shorter every year. The school board wants to add 10 days to the school year, well that is 2 work weeks. Then they want to have professional developments and mandatory records days, that never get used for that they make you spend the whole day in a training of some sort. This is the first year in a very long time that I have not taught summer school or been going to school for a graduate degree. It feels great! I have spent most of my summer traveling. No big trips, but lots of smaller ones. More to come on those trips soon.
