[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP who said her husband doesn’t work at home - I hope you realize that most white collar employees work from home “after hours.” We work until the job is done, not when the clock says a certain time. Teachers who assign work but don’t give kids timely feedback aren’t doing their job.[/quote]

I’m the teacher who posted above regarding 65+ hour weeks.

Do you get time during your day to get work done? I don’t. Do you have to give 30 hours of presentations a week? I do. Are you directly responsible for the actions and progress of 150 others? I am. Do you get a chance to eat lunch / go to the bathroom / take a breather when you need it? I have 12 minutes a day allotted to those activities, in 2 6-minute increments. Do you need to cover regularly for your colleagues, doing their presentations for them when they are sick? I do. Is your job this physically and mentally taxing? (Honestly?)

I get 3.5 hours a week to get all of my planning and grading done. One essay represents 30 hours of grading.

You’re correct. Timely feedback should be part of my job. Then GIVE ME TIME during the day to get it done. Blood from stone and all that.

And we wonder why teachers are quitting in droves.[/quote]
