[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t mean to be snarky, but a lot of jobs have to work over the 40 hours contracted per week, many at home after work hours. It’s part of the job for many jobs, but why is it most complained about by teachers. That’s what I don’t understand. Can someone please educate me?[/quote]

Because teachers aren’t paid the same way those other jobs were there are expectations of working at home. Teachers are notoriously underpaid. And in fact many do work out of contract hours.

Also, you are worried about your single child. The teacher had to work — and grade — every student in the class.

Also, it’s the beginning of the session. I don’t know why you expect there to be so much work right away. [/quote]

Right, they are paid much better than social workers, public health nurses, etc who are required to have masters and definitely don’t work 8 hours except the bad ones.  They get 10 months vs 12 months and higher pay and benefits.  [/quote]

Nurses make twice as much as teachers these days. And get paid for the hours they work.

I don’t know many social workers who work extreme hours.

And honestly nobody should work outside of their normal hours. Ever. Boundaries are important. Just because some people fail to assert them properly and lack work-life balance doesn’t mean you get to demand others follow suit. [/quote]
