I find this rhetoric troubling.  We "employers" are not willing to pay
public school teachers a decent wage but nonetheless expect them to
continue to school themselves, be creative, etc. etc. etc.  The fact that
some people continue to do so far beyond anything reasonable is amazing.
The fact that only a few day is completely understandable.
