[quote=Anonymous]Years ago, my union called for teachers to work to their contract. That meant 7 hour days. It was astonishing to outsiders how little actually got done. I taught 4 grade levels so I managed to get maybe half of my lessons done during my 45 minute planning. I occasionally got a bit of grading done too but usually not. No parent emails, no meetings with teachers. My neighbor teaches HS and she hardly got any grading done at all. 150 students plus tons of writing assignments means a lot of extra hours. Teachers in the U.S. have more student contact hours than teachers in other countries. I used to work in a school in Europe and I got a 45 minute duty free lunch, an hour planning per day plus rotating recess duties (I supervised a 30 minute recess for a week every 6 weeks or so) plus another 45 minutes free when the students went to language class. https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/09/the-ticking-clock-of-us-teacher-burnout/502253/[/quote]
