I think you're the one who needs to get real. As others have said, you have no clue what someone has going on in their personal lives.

My former neighbor, a teacher, worked full-time, then went home to care for her husband who was suffering from ALS (they had a daytime CNA). She certainly had zero "free time," probably even less than someone with small children.

My cousin, a teacher, worked a second job from 4pm- 9pm four days per week, plus ten-hour days on both Saturday and Sunday. That's a second full-time job. She had very little "free time."

It doesn't matter, though. It is no one else's business how much "free time" someone has, and anyone even implying that someone without children should be able to do more work than is required, is inappropriate and a violation of their privacy.

Take a breath. I’m not implying someone without children should have to do more work. I’m simply explaining why some teachers without children may have more free time. People without children always have more free time in general than people with children. You’d know that if you actually have children.

I am not saying anything about what teachers are expected to do. I’m simply stating facts about having kids vs not having kids. Once you have kids, you realize how much more free time you actually had before kids.

If your cousin had kids she would not have the “free time” to take that second job. She is choosing to take a second job in her free time it appears.

I do have children-- two in high school, one in middle school, one in elementary school, and one starting school next year-- so I am aware of how much free time people with children have. I still stand by what I said above.

Her spouse could take care of the kids during that time. I know two teachers at my school who go to jobs after school until 8pm. Their spouses pick the kids up from after care at 6pm. They aren’t doing this for fun.

If she has a husband, presumably her husband has a job. Why would she need a second job? That’s probably not the case or she would literally never see her children. Most teachers who have children do not take second jobs and then work all weekend at that second job in addition to a full time teaching job. It’s just not possible.

The PP said her teacher cousin works 4-9 pm 4 days a week during the week and then 10 hours on Sat and Sun in addition to a full time teaching job. Sorry, this isn’t plausible at all if she has kids. The whole thing sounds made up as is.

So you agree that in general, people with children have less free time overall than people without children? Being able to take a second job means you have more free time to begin with to be able to take a second job! There’s no way a mom with kids could or would do what your cousin is doing.

Dear parents:
Stop coddling your children. Stop telling them that if they get bad grades, it must be the teacher's fault. Help them build the character they will need to work hard and be successful, not be whiny, lazy and living in your basement when they're 35.

Nothing wrong with them living in the basement for the rest of their life.

Your privilege is showing.

Do you really have no awareness of how many people in this country work two full-time jobs? Or how many families need multiple incomes in order to make ends meet?

NP, I tutor a few nights a week. Who do you think is watching the kids? My husband.

I teach at my school’s aftercare program so I don’t pick up my kids until 7pm (sometimes later if the students’ parents are late). One of my neighbors watches my kids and gives them dinner. I’m not doing this because I want to. I don’t get paid enough as a teacher to afford all of the bills that come with living in this area. My mother is in a retirement home here so I’m not going to move somewhere cheaper. Maybe after her death.

A childless teacher doesn’t need two full time jobs, sorry. Most teachers with children do not have a second full time job as their main teaching job takes all their time.

If you are a teacher with children, would you work a second job 4-9 pm after school M-Th? Plus all day on Saturday and Sunday? I don’t think so. I am a retired teacher and it is simply not possible to do this with kids. That is my point. I am fully aware that some families need to have more sources of income. That doesn’t apply to most women teachers with children who have husbands that also pull a full salary.

Maybe that’s why the grading is not getting done because they’re working their second full-time job. 😊
