Teachers don't get paid vacation.  Occasionally teachers might have a break, but it is not a paid break and the two personal days that one gets a year are usually saved for something a lot more fun that what I will be using my personal day for.  I will be using my personal day to get ready for out-of-state company this weekend and will hope that my husband and dogs do not mess up the clean house that I anticipate having by 1 PM Friday afternoon before 1 PM Saturday afternoon.
