1)vacation days
2)regular public holidays
3)special days(like elections, mid term exam days, and others)
4)half days |

| I haven't worked a five day work week since May if that says anything. There was lots of random time off because of students going on camps, student elections, too humid, etc. |

i had 14 working days off (7 in the summer and 7 in the winter). there were lots of national holidays last year, which i did have off. my school had tons of exam days, ceremonies, trips, etc. all of which i was seat-warming at school for.
the only half day i can honestly recall was during the school's winter vacation when there was a bit of a snowstorm (to koreans, anyways) and i was allowed to leave after lunch |

With my extra 2 weeks for renewal and a good few days here and there, I got about 40 or 50 days last year. I also had half days during summer and winter camps.
This year will be less cos I'm not renewing and I have to work full days at camp, so maybe 30 days altogether, maybe more. We'll see! My school is good and I get on well with my principal so they let me take a few days if I ask them. |

I kept track of this in my calender. This is only Mar-Aug.
Total Mon-Fri days: 129
Days I got to stay home for whatever reason: 14 (national and local holidays, days everything was canceled, five extra days for summer vacation)
Days I went in and had no classes: 4
Days where I had only one class: 4
Half days: 10
Sick days: 6
Vacation(?): 9 days, but I was working in another school
No overlap in the categories. |

31 vacation days
5 days for special holiday
5 weeks of half days
lots of cancelled classes
Someone once told me that SMOE ps schools teachers really only teach 6 months out of a year but remember the other time will be spent sitting in the office alone, doing nothing, bored out of your skull. |

| seems like i had a pretty crappy deal, for those that got extra vacation time (half days after camp, no seat-warming, etc.) are you in rural locations? if not, what cities? |

Seat-warming would have been a better vacation than half days at camp. IMO. (Sit in the air-conditioned office for eight hours watching videos or spend the morning fighting kids who don't want to be there, then go home to no AC and fry for the afternoon? Can't go anywhere, have to be at work early the next morning!) |

actually, i meant that i spent the morning teaching camp then did seat-warming for the whole afternoon, with the janitor or someone occasionally checking to make sure i was still there  |
