[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers in the US have a lot more face-to-face time with students than teachers in the rest of the world. I taught overseas and always had at least two planning periods each day. One was during special areas classes like art, PE, etc and the other was during foreign language class. Plus I always had a duty free lunch of at least 45 minutes. [/quote]

Quite true. I have one friend who taught in Central America and another in Europe. Both had more planning / unscheduled work time than hours in front of students. Both were shocked to hear how little time American teachers get. [/quote]

Teachers in the USA get paid over 3-5 times what teachers in CA or Europe get.

You'd expect them to teach more and whine less.[/quote]

Wrong.

Teachers in many parts of Germany, for example, hold the same respect as doctors. They are paid well and have a much better work/life balance. [/quote]

Nope.  US pays more than most of Europe and Canada.  US ranks in the top 5 for teacher pay.
