Unfortunately not in practice. Most teachers can't take the straight business
expense deduction and the $250 exemption for classroom supplise is a pittance.

With all the holidays etc. teacher get off it all works out so don't try
to kid us about how much time you spend at work. It has been figured out
to the penny here in Oregon how much time teachers spend at work each
year and it is much less that the average worker does.

Bull****. Margy spends almost the a year round full time load inside the building
on the 190 or so days she is there. That doesn't count all the extra preparation
and work she does at home, nor the extracurricular training she does to maintain
her certification.
