A high school English teacher in Ohio is facing termination after she allegedly called out of work sick for two days to attend a concert in Nashville, Tennessee, district records show.
Most teachers get paid over the summer. Some districts allow you to get paid just during the weeks you work, but most spread the paychecks out over the year.
No they don’t, at least not in Texas. Here they get paid for the school year. Then they have the option to CHOOSE to have their pay spread out throughout the year. But unless they are teaching summer school, which is additional pay, they are not paid for the summer.
Another day on the internet where I as a European am horrified what Americans put up with.
Here in germany teaching is one of the best paid profession and of course they get paid during holidays.
In Finland even more so: the social status of teachers there is higher than doctors and lawyers.
And they are constantly topping international comparisons of education systems.
They aren’t being paid for summer though. Most teachers have a daily rate of pay for each work day. They then take that and divide it by 12 and pay the teachers once a month.
The paychecks received in June and July are for work done earlier in the year that are delayed so that teachers can budget easier and so the district can earn some interest on it.
I’m not responding further as this person is simply spreading misinformation to spread misinformation.To anyone else reading this, a simple web search will prove these statements about teachers being paid when they aren’t working false.
It might depend on the school district, but my family has worked for 3 different ones across a couple states, and they would not get paid monthly or anything over the summer. First check for them would come in September even, and we start school in mid to late August around here.
IIRC they would get a larger sum at the end of the school year to hold them over til the fall. I vaguely recall my step mom talking about how every year there would be a teacher who budgets poorly and forgets the first paycheck isn’t until September.
I have a family member that is a teacher. She gets 2 vacation days a year. The school argues it’s fair because they get summers off.
Unless they are getting paid over the summer, it’s not time off.

They have their paycheck spread out, they are not paid FOR that time.

They do get paid over the summer.
This is not true.
Yes it is.
Teacher for 20 years. No, it isn’t.

No, they get consistent paychecks by taking a chunk from each so that you get paid over breaks.
The actual answer is they get to choose.
This certainly depends on your locale.
