Teachers have 5 weeks to opening next term. Another 5wks in August,and about 7wks in Dec. 17wks leave in 1 year. Perhaps one can do sthing meaningful.

The job is hectic.

One plus one does not always equal to two.

Teaching is one of the traditional careers persued by those who may not have adequate info about other avenues of life,and those with the fear of the unknown about professional life.
Teaching is a noble profession and has to do with assisting,not serious business.
It is not a lucrative career,and unless a teacher starves himself,he may never find cash to invest.
Many teachers are not wise investors,and will most probably fail in their investment endeavours.
Teaching does not carry with it the prestige endowed in other careers.
Teachers are at the disposal of every Tom,Dick and Harry,and often rub shoulders with them,perhaps this is the reason why little respect is accorded them. Some say it is one of the professions associated with Jesus. Others being carpentry and forces. They carry some nobility. I would not advice my kid to persue it.
Teaching however is very fulfilling when you see your products blossoming as much as you may never enjoy the fruits with them.

...the proverbial tortoise and hare...

We all owe our successes to teachers and must therefore respect them however poor they may be. We also largely entrust our kids to them and hope they will give them a better future than ours.
