[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting teacher threads are always filled with teachers claiming they work 60+ hours a week, but there's always a delay in grading, sending communication, etc. 🤔[/quote]

You have no idea how much BS teachers have to deal with.  Learning support meetings. Team meetings. Grade level meetings. Department meetings. Curriculum change meetings. Faculty professional development. If you're at a private school, teachers often have to run clubs, attend games and faculty events, and coach.[/quote]

But that’s a lot of jobs even if the packaging is different. I work in a client facing job, and I have plenty of admin work, projects I am “voluntold” to work on, etc. [b]what makes teachers so different [/b]or special?[/quote]

Well, you have one or several supervisors who assess you, and they are presumably well-versed in the ins and outs of your field/job.

Teachers have dozens to hundreds of adults who feel they have the right to assess, rebuke, report, and discuss the performance, and the majority of these adults have no real understanding of the job, plus all of the evidence used for this assessment comes second-hand, from the mouths of children.

That's the difference.[/quote]
