Who doesn’t do their job properly because they are mad? Are you referring to the teachers who posted above, including me? I’m fairly certain I do a tremendous job.

Perhaps it’s best to explain it this way: 
Imagine your work required 35 hours of presentations a week, and that you are held personally accountable for how strong those presentations are - even if your audience is hostile or disinterested. You are given 5 hours a week on the clock to prepare for those 35 hours, but you are often pulled from that preparation time for meetings and to do others’ presentations when they are sick. Therefore, almost all of your preparation for these presentations as well as any related correspondence and feedback (report writing, data analysis) needs to be done on your own time. Wouldn’t you think there should be more of a balance, or would you find this acceptable?

Teaching is unique. It isn’t necessarily harder than other professions, but it does present its own challenges.

(And before someone asks: I’m working from home because I’m sick today. This is a break.)[/quote]
