Discount lodging deal for teachers

I always wanted to be a teacher. Molding those young minds. Cultivating the best that America has to offer. Making a real difference.
And then there are the three most obvious reasons: June, July, and August.
In recognition of the good work that they do -- and recognizing the short money they do it for --
I feel it my obligation to make sure these shock troops in the Battle against Ignorance know about Educators Bed & Breakfast Travel Network (800-956-4822).
No, there are no guys with shaved heads and orange togas here. This is a kind of co-operative run by teachers for teachers. You must be a working or retired educator to join. Once in -- there is a $36 annual membership fee -- you pay just $40 a night (plus a $5 booking fee) for a double room at any of more than 6,000 homes in 50 countries. This includes a spouse and kids under 18, providing you can all fit -- and stand each other (think Texas Death Cage carping) -- in one room. And you get a light Continental breakfast -- yes, I'm sure sometimes this means doughnuts.
A caveat: By joining you also agree to potentially be a host, but you're under no obligation if a request comes at a bad time. By hosting, you build up credits that can be redeemed for future stays.
Besides, single rooms it's also possible to wire up a Home Stay -- which is $50 a night -- in which you essentially housesit for someone else for five days or longer. A win-win: They get someone to watch over their stuff and you get a whole house.
So, it seems that y'all don't know everything, eh? I hope you paid attention because there may be a pop quiz later.
