My mother is a teacher and my sister is one.

I don't wish to discuss their salaries but essentially they go up with experience and level of education. So, my mother who has a PHD, is the head of her department and has been teaching for over 30 years makes a lot more than my sister who has been teaching for five years.

Growing up my mother worked a lot over the summer..it may not have been in the classroom teaching but over the summer she had to do all the lesson plans for the following year, do her budget (though that may have been because she was head of department..I just always remember her doing it), prepare her classroom ( with a lot of slave labour from her daughters) and more. She didn't get fully paid during the summer but that was her choice. On their yearly contracts they could decide to get paid every week during the summer and get smaller checks every week throughout the year or get more per week in the school year and then two lump payments during the summer.

I don't know how usual that is but that is how it worked for her.

She also spent many nights, grading,etc and could never mentally leave her job behind when she came home.
