[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what planning is at middle school but planning time is much longer for high school from elementary. My sister taught elementary and other than short specials had no planning. In my high school I have a built in period off, 90 minutes, plus lunch each day.

While subject areas could differ it depends on the teacher. I’m a high school special education teacher and rate myself as a solid B teacher, and have never aspired to be an A. I value my work life balance. If I was an A teacher I could spend much more time planning. However, I thankfully have been in the profession for almost 15 years. I have watched many of the A level teachers burn out and leave the profession. I believe my experience and B level effort is better than a new teacher who works themselves into burnout and leaving at A level effort. [/quote]

It concerns me that we think A teachers can’t have work-life balance. If that is true, teachers should be paid five, six times what they currently earn. [/quote]
