What do other teachers do during the summer months?

I have in the past worked at a summer camp, but I’m thinking of not returning. Before I make any definite decision, I’m curious what other teachers do so that I have some ideas.

Waitressing at the local restaurant. Also tutoring online.
Summer camp sounds cool!!!

Summers keep shrinking, so if I take one trip, that’s about all I can handle. I need the time to recover from the non-stop chaos of modern-day education.

Are you asking for ideas for money or just ways to use your time? If you need income, you can teach summer school. It's not as many students so a much easier workload than actual school.

I teach summer school.

I work more hours in my business.

I write curriculum.

I hang out with my kid.

Rest

I rest, relax, take a vacation. Thats pretty much the extent of it.

I enjoy my summer with my children and collect unemployment. I love going to their sports games and getting to be more active with them.

I tutor. I have some children in my neighborhood that go to a school that is all year round. So, I tutor them in math for extra money during the summer.

I like teaching too much so I don't stray too far from it with my summer job. I'm an instructor for ESL which is equally as rewarding but a bit more different because I usually teach adults.

I enjoy the beach and visiting out-of-town family. I also have a hand-lettering business, so I spend some time doing that during the summer, but only part-time.

Rest, relax, catch up with and binge Netflix, try new recipes. Got plenty of income saved from during the year.

I teach summer school for part of it and the rest is spent relaxing and spending time with my kids.

I manage several Airbnb's owned by my parents over the summer since that's the season where they're most active. Other than that, I just focus on being a stay-at-home mom for the rest of the summer.

I train horses.

I worked at a golf course a few days a week. I worked in the snack shop super easy and the tips were awesome!

I travel, relax, go to the lake. It's my time to do whatever I want.

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy. One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.

My school is a small rural school. We don’t offer many in-house electives. What’s happening is students are having to take whatever is there to fill their schedules.

What are some electives you have at your school that are new, innovative and interesting for todays high school students?
