I heard on the news one of the pro-governor people saying that teachers have an easy job because they get summers off. Again let’s compare with the NFL player. Remember that the $285,000 is a minimum pay. The rookie who gets that amount need not be on a team that makes the play offs. How long is an NFL off season if you don’t continue beyond regular season play? Also being ignored is that many teachers work at low paying summer jobs and use some of the money earned at those jobs to but classroom supplies. I have heard of plenty of teachers buying their own supplies. I have never heard of an NFL player buying their own uniform or pads. I can’t imagine a construction worker needing to take their own nails to the job or a secretary supplying their own white-out, and yet this is commonly expected of teachers.
