Here in Connecticut, teachers are only paid for about 185 (depends on school district) days, about 181 days with students, the other days are staff development days (mandatory to maintain certification).

Fifteen paid sick days (the students are constantly sneezing, and coughing, all over the teachers).

A few very specific personal days (closing on house, funeral, birth of child, marriage, adopt child, graduation, etc.)

No pay for "snow days".

No paid vacation days. No paid summer vacation. No paid winter vacation. No paid spring vacation.

No paid holidays.

No time-and-a-half overtime.
