Comment on Paid Leave Olympics
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 months agoCool, can I take a third of the year off here in America and still keep my job?
Otherwise, I think I’ll take the lower pay plus all the days off and the free healthcare.

Depends on the job, that’s what a teacher does, and the average teacher salary is double the median french salary

Teachers in the US definitely do NOT “take the summer off”, as someone who has an SIL that’s a teacher. That time winds up getting filled with lesson planning, adapting to new curricula, meetings with administration to discuss new curricula or books, and usually working a second job because your school is, most of the time, not paying you to do any of that.

It definitely depends on the type of teacher. My mom is a teacher but for her current job doesn’t need to do much planning so does get it off

Teachers do not get free healthcare. I have no idea why you’re even suggesting it.

What’re you talking about? I didn’t say anything about healthcare or health insurance. But I will say now, full time public school teachers do get health insurance usually

I said it. You responded to it. I guess you responded without reading.
And as someone with the same insurance they give to the local teachers and is thousands of dollars in medical debt over just two years, comparing that to the French healthcare system is laughable.
