[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your school doesn’t have asynchronous work? That’s odd. [/quote]

are you joking??? asynchronous work is code for "teacher wants to sleep." [/quote]

LOL[/quote]

I also thought that was funny because Mondays are my busiest day. I often have two to three meetings and use a large chunk of that time for grading and to plan for the week.[/quote]

NP. Wasn’t the overtime for grading and planning done in their own time after teaching hours supposed to justify the months of vacation that teachers get each year that other professions don’t get? I thought it was supposed to even out.[/quote]

:roll:  
During typical school years, I work 75-80 hours/week.
During Covid, I've worked 70-75 hours/week.

I'd say that still balances out to far more hours/year than most professions work. [/quote]

What grade/subject do you teach and please break down those 70-75 hours in detail so that parents who think you're working less than 49 hours can understand. Break it down like 5 hours grading essays; 5 hours making new slides; 3 hours replying to parent or student emails. [/quote]

If you are the teacher that originally posted the hours above, do not reply to this question. This person is not your employer and you don't need to justify anything to them. It's a trap, and don't fall for it.[/quote]

Funniest answer ever. Sounds like this teacher knows that the 75 hours teacher was exaggerating. Or flat out lying. [/quote]

It isn't an exaggeration or lie.

Secondary teachers who are also instructional leaders have at least 5  hours of meetings per week in addition to "just" teaching. Add in all the other duties of teachers, especially grading when everything is essay or short response for over 150 students, and it takes a huge amount of time.
