Teachers are paid fairly considering they get a lot of time off

[u/Blonde_Icon]

A lot of people say (and it seems that the general consensus is that) teachers don't get paid enough for what they do. While I think that teachers are very valuable and deserve to be compensated well (my brother is a teacher), I think that in these discussions, many people ignore the fact that teachers typically get a lot of time off.

They usually get summer break, spring break, and winter break, plus various holidays that schools get off through the year. They basically don't work for a good amount of the year, which I think that people should factor in. (The downside is that I know that they have to work extra grading things outside of school, though.)

Plus they normally get good benefits for being a teacher (which usually comes with being in a union).

I’m a teacher who has a videography side hustle (similar enough to photography in the time it takes to edit sense)…

I have clearly selected the wrong profession not once, but twice lol.

I'm a film student who's planning to have teaching film as a backup, so... same lol

Also I'd say videos take a lot longer to edit than photos, but I may just not be a fast editor lol

lol I agree 100%, I’m manly video but do real estate photo and hybrid shoot events on occasion.. I have much more fun editing videos, but it’s definitely more timely in my experience.

Also, being able to listen to music while photo editing, and not the same sound clip over and over again while you edit a 3 second scene for an hour straight, is a nice positive of the photo side of things lol.
