My parents want me to be a teacher and they always use the summer break thing as a positive. Like no they typically get another job bc they can’t afford their main one

The money they get paid over the summer is taken from their paychecks earlier in the year. They still only get paid for their school year hours, it’s just stretched through the summer

Correct, my dad’s a teacher and that’s how his district works. It makes managing finances a bit easier imo
