This isn't even mentioning the two months off in the summer or the time off around Christmas.

Not sure if that's true in all places. I think many states have their teachers in a statewide retirement system that takes place instead of social security. They would pay into the retirement system instead of SS and would get one over the other. In order to get both one would have to pay into both. Not sure if the schools contribute to whatever it is the use as an alternative to the 401(k).
Still, hard to bitch about part time pay for part time work.
