[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]60 hours a week x 38 weeks = 2280 hours per year.

40 hours a week x 52 weeks = 2080 hours per year.

A full time year round employee who works 44 hours a week works the same amount as a teacher.  Most professionals I know work this and then some.  I get the exhaustion that comes from long days with other people's children, but the amount of complaining is really unwarranted.[/quote]

I'm pretty sure most (if not all) teachers work more a bit than 38 weeks a year, though. Teachers typically have about a week's worth of required work days for training, planning, classroom set-up, etc before the students' first day of school & at least a couple of work days for classroom cleanup,more meetings, etc after the students' last day of school. And a lot of the random days off/long weekends scattered through-out the school year are "in service" days for teachers. So, while they do get a lot more time off than most people, it is not quite as much time off as one might think.[/quote]
