[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]" If any of this work at home, either by teachers or other professionals, is considered by the employer to be part of the actual hours worked, it is included in the BLS figures. It is possible that teachers, as well as other professionals, put in some hours at home that are not captured in these numbers, but those hours would not be considered required for their jobs and thus are not part of their paid employment."

This Manhattan institute study clearly ignores the much greater likelihood of teachers to bring work home and the much lower likelihood that their employer counts that home time as "part of the job" even though it clearly is. [/quote]

I dispute your claim that teachers are more likely than other profession to put in at home or after hours work. Source? [b]No anecdotes[/b].[/quote]

My friend is MS teacher, she routinely grades papers on weekends (3-4 hour each day, including input in computer system). With all the lab set ups (science teacher), training and other BS during the normal workhours there is not enough time in the day.  Granted, she takes time to write short blurbs if the student did great work, needs improvement in an area, etc.[/quote]

Missed that part didn't you?[/quote]

Actually, I didnt.  We spend most of weekends together (playdates) and that is what she does, so I witness it firsthand.[/quote]
