A question to the public school teachers out there:
How many hours per year are the students actually in class and actually being instructed?
be honest now, no exaggeration. Most of us have kids in school and know the answer already. Please account for 1 week off in the fall, 1 week off in the spring, 2 1/2 weeks off in winter, 3 months off in the summer, average of 1 friday off per month during the school year, and half days off so often is is hard to kep track of them.
no, picket line duty doesn't count (So Cal joke).

It costs me $800 a month to put my two kids in private school and it is worth every penny.
