OK -- I don't want to take that time off :) Actually, most don't work extensive overtime, check it out sometime. On some days I go to my daughters [elementary] school at 7AM (this is a weekly occurance) and I often pick her up by 4PM. It is rare to see hardly ANY administrative staff OR teachers there at either of these times. So, assuming a 30 minute lunch break (and I bet many are longer than that) the majority of these teachers are putting in no more than a 8.5 hour day. I can do that in my sleep. Ironically, I will see the "engineers" there working long hours, and many of them drive buses as well. If anything, increase their pay and lower the teachers pay, all else being equal.

Ok, you work 'overtime' days for a school year and then tell me you dont want to take those 12 weeks off to recharge from going apeshit insane? -- Scott Dier <dieman at ringworld.org> <sdier at debian.org> http://www.ringworld.org/ #linuxos at irc.openprojects.net
