[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on the verge of leaving.  My retirement amount will be greatly reduced.  We'll deal with that as a family (and I'll find some other kind of job, with less pay and less vacation time).  It just doesn't matter anymore as much.  Even the golden handcuffs can be cut off when the price is too high to stay.[/quote]

I mean school is just for 180 days a year, and at least my kid's teachers are out a few days a month. They'd be pressed to work 160 days total. Meanwhile, int he real world the rest of us work 50-60 hour weeks for 260-270 days a year, but I guess the grass is always greener.[/quote]

180 days for students is 190 or 210 days for adults.

An 8-hour day of teaching equals a 12-hour day of teaching plus planning/grading.

Thank you for this! 
Signed - a teacher who took a rare Saturday off to go to a college football game. I’ll suffer for it on Monday because I can’t get all my grading and planning done in just one day (Sunday). [/quote]
