[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am also pretty amazed that the poster would complain about having doctor's appointments--everyone has them and working people have to figure it out. I am not saying a teacher should not be well paid but going on and on about how hard the job is when you have a ton of time off and a stable income that you don't have to wonder if you are getting laid off like monthly. [b]You can literally leave each day before the rest of people can leave[/b]. There are huge benefits and for private schools the tution discounts are a nice draw.[/quote]

I generally spend 2-5 hours at home reading and commenting upon composition drafts, and also rereading novel chapters so I'm ready for class discussion (even though I've read the novels many times, I need to review individual chapters I've assigned, and then, I also periodically add different, new-to-me texts to the rotation).  So yeah, I leave work earlier, but then I work for multiple hours at home.  And on weekends.

I've never had a "ton of time off."  I'm spending October break chaperoning an international trip, and this is hard work with long hours, not a free vacation (I kind of dread these trips, actually, and always return exhausted).  I've never had a summer "off", either.  [/quote]
