Here's another quote: "The job simply can’t be done in 40 hours. It can’t. It isn’t set up to be sustainable. What other professional is expected to give 30-35 hours of presentations a week with absolutely no time at work dedicated to preparing these presentations or debriefing after them?"

Let's get real here. The school day is 6.5 hours. Teachers generally are expected to arrive 40 minutes early. Teachers also have a lunch period within this 6.5 hours and a dedicated planning period within this 6.5 hours.

So, at most, teachers are available to teach for 5 hours per day. So, that's at most 25 hours per week, yet the poster exclaims they're supposed to present for 30-35 hours per week.

In the private and public sector, lunch doesn't count as work time, by the way. And neither does commuting, in case people are including that in their calculations. [/quote]
