[quote=Anonymous]In a 40 hour work week if you divide my time evenly with all students each one gets 14 minutes (providing I don't eat, attend department/staff meetings or use the bathroom). In that time I need to do everything for that student: teach them the content, make their lessons, make their tests, grade their papers, attend their IEP meetings, meet with their counselors, co-plan with team members, adopt new materials, disaggregate data to inform instruction, etc. When you take into consideration all of the "back-end" stuff that takes place it takes it down to maybe 4 or 5 minutes per student. If each email takes 2-5 minutes it eats into my most limited of resources: time.

Of course I spend more time than this working because their are more needs than will fit into a 40 hour week, but their are not enough hours in the day to get everything done to high standards all the time. I'm not trying to justify it because I try really, really hard to get everything done to the best of my ability (like almost all of the teachers I know). The reality is that something has to give. And if something has to give it will  never, ever be the well-being of my students or the teaching quality they receive. [/quote]
