Ahh...Vacation

As most people know, one of the great things about being a teacher is the summer vacation. During June, July, and through mid-August, you don't have to work. In effect, you can sit at home, watch Jenny Jones, and get your full salary. Many people don't think this is deserved. We only have to work from August to May and we get all of these extra holidays thrown in. Yeah, but working all day with students whose hormones are out of control, standing, walking, talking, stooping, correcting, etc. gets old REALLY fast. In addition the 50-60 hours a week I work in giving lessons, writing lessons, writing assignments, and test more than qualify me for a month or so of restful Mr. French time. So why I am I writing units and powerpoints for next year...
