Summer Vacation? Not so much.

Today's edition of The New York Times has a nice op-ed piece, "Reading, Writing, Retailing," about funding educators and the future of the teaching profession and about how so many teachers must moonlight or work summers to pay the bills. It's by Dave Eggers, the founder of 826 Valencia, a nonprofit group that tutors students, where Nínive Calegari is on the board. Daniel Moulthrop, a former teacher, is a radio producer for WCPN in Cleveland. They are the authors of "Teachers Have It Easy: The Big Sacrifices and Small Salaries of Our Nation's Teachers."

It is a good read.
