    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. Also like I said the average teacher is paid double what the average french worker is with similar cost of living
