All students know what they are going to do during summer vacation, but do any of them know or even care what the teachers do? Well, The Tiger Times does!
People often think that all teachers do during the summer is eat, sleep, and read, but there seems to be a lot more to it than that. For instance, Study Hall Monitor Mr. Skokowski says that he hardly ever does anything fun except for teaching summer school; when he is not teaching, he is doing yard work around his yard.
Although this is what a lot of teachers do during the summer break as they anxiously wait to come back and teach us, it is by no means all. For an example, math teacher Cindy Steele likes to visit her family; she also takes state-mandated courses to keep up her teacher certification, goes on a vacation, takes camping trips, and loves to read.
These teachers’ ideas of fun may not be the same as the students’ notion of a great time, but who said that the teachers have to like what we do? Daily annual substitute teacher Scott Wagaman likes to golf and work, but not much else.
Some surprising studies have even revealed that, with all of the extra grading and preparation that teachers must undertake during the school year, they technically are only awarded a full two weeks of genuine vacation throughout the entire year. This makes summer vacation seem shorter and shorter.
Even if these teachers’ plans aren’t the same as students’, any kind of plan is often better than the lack of one, which can get some teenagers into trouble.
Have a great summer, Fleetwood Area High School teachers!
