Ah, sorry, when you said paid for only half of the year I though you meant that teachers are only receive payment during the time that they work, and receive no pay during the times when they aren't working. Also, many jobs have weekends or other days off so it's really only 3 months less pay than other jobs, not half a year. Sorry for the confusion.
