2 and a half more weeks of lesson plans until...
...SUMMER SCHOOL!
Yeah you heard that right. Summer school. I work for 6 weeks. The money is good and the building is air conditioned whch means my bills at home stay down. I get paid my regular salary plus a summer school salary. We have one trip per week starting in the second week and half of my students are going to camp. I will stop teaching summer school when I have children. When they are old enough to go to camp, I will work at the camp so they can go for free. Otherwise, we won't be able to afford it.
The beauty of it all is that we are being audited this week by two government offices. What a great way to end the year. Fried teachers in June under a microscope.
Anyone else teaching summer school?

I wish I could get a job teaching summer school.....I think you have set yourself up quite nicely and have good plans for the future. What you described is the type of schedule I would love to have when I have kids.

It is a very low key set up for the summer. I teach special ed in a pretty restrictive environment. A good percentage of my students would lose out on a lot if they did not come to summer school. They need the consistency that it provides. The camps that some of my kids go to are camps for kids with special needs.

I did summer school for many years. It wasn't the worst thing and the money funded my vacations. I still ended up with a good 3-4 weeks off.
Though one summer I wrote curriculum- I loved that the most!

Re: 2 and a half more weeks of lesson plans until...
i'm not doing summer school, but i'm a speech therapist- i'm doing summer evaluations this year. this is my first year working over the summer, so i'm kind of bummed, but i figured the money would be good and i don't have my own kids yet, so why not? i'll set up the evaluations on my own schedule, spend about 2 hours doing testing with the kid and then write the report at home on my own time so total about 5 hours of work or so... not bad for $300 per evaluation stinks having to work over the summer, but now i can take one extra vacation this coming year

I am doing the educational portion of a summer camp. It's great money, I have most of the day free for me...only downside is that I end up with not quite 2 weeks free for me. Oh well.
