The tone is ironic, since these are the holidays! As teaching is such a tough job, you probably wouldn't find anyone to do it if they didn't get a decent break at some point, hence these 'good reasons' to teach! Of course, what most people don't realize is that most teachers are still working when the students aren't. But since everyone (mostly) has been to school, everyone thinks they're an expert...

LOL. It means that you get three months off every year. (But of course it isn't really true because a lot of schools don't let out until the middle of June and some start back in August, and then there is summer school.....)

Teachers generally don't teach in June, July, and August cause they are off for the summer!!

ROFL...being a teacher, I can tell you. It means the best part of being a teacher is summer break during June, July and August! It's a joke.

The reasons for being a teacher are that you have three months off during the summer. No other job can say that!

Thats the typical time of year school is not in session. In other words, three good reasons to be a teacher is the three months of summer vacation. It is a humorous, somewhat sarcastic remark.

It's supposed to be funny. It means that it's the only time of the year that you don't have to see kids. And/or it means that teachers (supposedly) get more vacation time than any other profession.
But, of course, they spend a lot of time in the summer going to classes to keep up their certification, cleaning up their room from the year before and setting up their room and planning for the upcoming year.

It means they get the summer's off and don't have to work 3 months of the year.

It means 3 months vacation every year, i.e. 12 weeks vacation starting the first year you're hired - by comparison, I've got 20 yrs seniority and I've only just started getting 6 weeks.

Those are the vacation months, typically - at least in the United States.
