[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am putting in at least 60 hours a week, sometimes more.  I'm a veteran teacher, so this is not cause I'm new.  I have taken on a bunch of new responsibilities, and teach some extra curricular activities (unpaid), so that's part of it.  But I'm exhausted.  I'd much rather teach from August 1 to June 30th and have a week off every 2 months than a long summer and this kind of workload.  I'm even working in my building on the weekend.  I get that other professions work long hours, though I'm curious how many other professions making 65K a year are working 60 hour work weeks.  [/quote] Have you considered a year-round school since you prefer that schedule. But yes, the hours spent both in the building and at home working are excessive and the more they pay you the more they are expecting you do. Also, I wouldn't take on extra responsibilities unless there was admin pay or a stipend involved. I know you might want to gain skills or brownie points but time is money and there are opportunities to earn money while gaining experience in other areas. [/quote]
