[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be the voice of dissent here. 
A boyfriend that I lived with for 2 years was a teacher.
He never ever brought work home unless he "goofed off" during a planning period, he had 2, in addition to lunch.
He did all his grading during those times, he said lunch hour was more for socializating and he wasn't interested.
[b]It was his 5th year teaching the same grade, and he had perfected his curriculum the first couple years and continues to follow that with some tweaking.[/b]
He was home by 4 pm every day.
It was eye opening to say the least![/quote]

There's a big part of it right there.

The rest of it?  Not the norm.

I'm concerned that your boyfriend believed that he had "perfected" his curriculum and didn't 'need to do more each year than tweak it. He doesn't sound like a very reflective and responsive practitioner of the craft.[/quote]

I don't see an issue with this.[/quote] Exactly! You always have to tweak it because what worked for one class doesn't work for the next. [/quote]

The point is he did, and was obviously successful because he was voted "teacher of the year" 2 years in a row.[/quote]

With that little effort?  How sad.

Come to think of it I don't know a teacher who has taught the same curriculum for 5 years in a row.  He had to be bored out of his mind.  No wonder he did as little as possible.

Regardless of all of that his experience is not average, as you can see from the posts here.[/quote]
