[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a teacher but if you think teachers work 6 to 8 hours a day, you are way off. My mom was a teacher who got to school every day two hours before classes began. She came home, cooked dinner, and then graded papers and planned lessons long after I went to bed. She did have summers off, which is great. But she worked so hard the rest of the time and spent so much of her money and energy on her students that she really wore herself out. It is a HARD job to do really well. [/quote]

I will give you my anecdote to level the field:
My boyfriend (ex) was awarded Teacher of the Year 4 years in a row and was a Saturday morning "extra help" tutor at the local library once a month with the biggest attendance. In short, he was a fanastic and well respected teacher.
He was home by 4 pm every day, got all of his work done grading and planning during school hours. He used the same lesson plans year after year with minor tweaking he could do during his planning and lunch periods.
No work on weekends, went in at a normal hour in the morning.
He got so many days off in addition to summer vacation. He had maybe a few days of planning in the summer and that was it.[/quote]
