Earlier this year a letter was printed in a Milwaukee newspaper in which a teacher complained how teachers were involuntarily laid off three months every summer and were not allowed by state law to collect unemployment compesation. It's this kind of attitude displayed by a certain faction of educators that gets them in trouble with the general public. I remember a teaching position opening up several years ago in far Northern Wisconsin. There were 700 applicants for the job. Another local position drew 1400 inquiries. You have to be among the best of the best just to get an interview sometimes. You can't have it both ways. You can't consider yourself among the best of the best, get hired, then once hired into some gravy job (with full health, dental, long stretches of vacation including all the prime holidays off, pension, sick leave, etc.) turn around and declare that you're so incompetent you're incapable of acquiring vacation employment in a tight summer labor market and are in need of unemployment compensation which you will draw while you drive your family to the Grand Canyon in your sports utility van.
