Taking two months off for the summer, two weeks off for christmas, a week off during the spring, and working 5 day, 6 hours a day work weeks. :P And being paid KINGLY sums for the "work."

Actually, my parents are both teachers. They love it, although some of the kids they have to deal with... some of the stories they bring home (my parents each teach in two of the "poor" schools in my town).
A word of advice: don't go into teaching if it's for the money and the time off. You'll either be a lousy teacher, hate your job, or both. Probably both.

"Life is sacred and you are not its steward. You have stewardship over it but you don't own it. You're making a choice to go through this, it's not just happening to you. You're inviting it, and in some ways delighting in it. It's not accidental or coincidental. You're choosing it. You have to realize you've made choices."
