Why Australia is different from America

Now, I have to say, I know a lot of teachers. I don't have much respect for many of them. Three months off a year and they still can't go a month without getting a regular work day off because it is too "stressful"?

Maybe they have to listen to their own answering machine and figure out that they are also in the real world and that though they went to college to prolong a school career and then decided they never wanted to leave but don't want to get arrested for showing up anyways and now need to move on with a real life and make a better student out of those that don't want to be bettered.
