From September to November we prepare for the State Social Studies test. From November to January we prepare for the English Language Arts Test. From January until March we prepare for the State Socila Studies test. After March we do projects and plays and prepare for graduation.Then I get the summer off (while still getting paid the same amount of money that I was making while I was teaching) Not to mention I get paid vacations in December, February, and April. I do overtime (teach after school and Saturday school) basically teaching the same test prep I do all day.....

it's the same here in arizona, people would be shocked at how messed up the educational system is.
