I couldn't agree with you more; good for her.  I can empathize with her "plight"; my wife teaches 6th grade in an inner-city Buffalo school. That being said, it still pisses me off that she gets 10 weeks off in the summer...

Being a former teacher myself, I sort of (those being the key words here) understand. However, most Schools and School Districts require their teachers to do some continuing Education in their off months. So in many cases, they really don't have the summer off.
Those who do take the summer off and work at another job are usually forced to do so to make ends meet.
Either way, my Daughter is one of my Heros!
