[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Elementary School Teacher: So many misconceptions... 
Work from 9 - 3 (I may spend 10 hours in my building some days and ALWAYS have work to bring home) 
Have summers "off" (Must take classes to keep teaching certification & usually have some type of training to attend) [/quote]

[b]Interesting.  I have 4 elem/middle school teachers in my family and your facts don't jibe with their lifestyle at all.[/[/b]quote]

Middle school is completely different.  If I taught four math classes a day, I would say my planning and prepping time would be reduced greatly. I'm an upper elementary school teacher.  I plan for a writing, reading (4 different groups reading 4 different texts using materials I create myself), math (differentiated of course - remediation, on-grade-level- acceleration), and a science or social studies lesson every day.  That's nine different plans (and modified materials) every day.  That makes 45 different lessons per week. As for the elementary school teachers in your family, after 18 years of doing this I can say with confidence that teachers who do not put in these hours are not as effective in the classroom.
