The stress when it’s in-session is pretty bad, though. And a lot of teachers work a summer job to make ends meet, it’s often not time off.

The summers off are basically the only notable perk, too. At least in my state. Healthcare’s expensive and bad and gets worse every year. Pay’s bad. Work environment is usually bad. Retirement’s ok-ish but doesn’t close the gap on the poor pay.
