[quote=Anonymous][quote]Elementary School Teacher: So many misconceptions... Work from 9 - 3 (I may spend 10 hours in my building some days and ALWAYS have work to bring home) Have summers "off" (Must take classes to keep teaching certification & usually have some type of training to attend) [/quote] [quote]Interesting. I have 4 elem/middle school teachers in my family and your facts don't jibe with their lifestyle at all.[/quote] I think both posters are correct. The workload really depends on the state and type of school. An elementary school teacher in MCPS now has to deal with the new curriculum, come up with lesson plans but not deviate too much from what is prescribed, make sure all kids are test prepped or face the wrath of the principal if they don't beat out the other clusters, and not forget to bring in supplies for class. In private school, as long as she has good lesson plans, she can reuse them year to year, and doesn't need to deal with the testing nonsense. [/quote]
