Editor, The News:
It is a misconception perpetuated by many people that teachers get two months off in the summer with pay.
I have several relatives and friends who are dedicated teachers and they only get paid for 10 months of the year.
In some school districts a teacher can opt to have their 10-month salary spread out over 12 months.
