My mom is a guidance counselor. She has to work about five weeks more than regular teachers, but she would still have part of the summer off (about a month).

I have to point out that you are mistaken about teachers having the "summer off". School ends in my district on June 11 for teachers. I have a required class to attend June 12-15. I have another week long science seminar to attend in July. Since our state requires that teachers attend 60 hours outside of the regular school day in training - almost all of us have to attend classes during the summer. We will start back to work on August 13. For most teachers - "summer off" is realistically about 6 to 7 weeks. Yes- I do know we have more time off than the average worker - but not nearly as much as the public thinks. Also - most people think we get paid for that time off. Our checks are based on our contracted days. Most teachers do arrange to stretch this out over 12 months instead of 9 and 1/2 or ten so that their families can survive during this time off.

Most work at least a 11 months out of the year. They may get part of July off before they go back in August. It depends on the school district and the grades they work with.

Some work 10, 11, or 12 months a year, depends on the position/district.

Most of the time they need to work on scheduling in the summer.
