[quote=Anonymous]Most of my tenured friends have plenty of time esp family flexibility. Between sabbaticals and fellowships one of my friends is off for 1.5 years, etc. she also designs her courses so repeats many, with some updates. Teaching takes less time than the admin duties (phd students, hiring committees etc). . What you describe is not normal, you should be able to push back on both teaching new classes every single semester and the ta issues. I also think you’re over prepping. I taught a few uni classes while working full time with a toddler. I spent about 2 hrs preparing for each class (so 4hr week and this was not classes I had taught before ) plus an additional office hour. Grading midterms and final papers took time but I usual knocked if out over a weekend. Btw my brother left academe (untenured) for industry. He works as much, makes more but has far less flexibility.[/quote]
