Reply #222: An 8-hour day? [View All]

[JDPriestly]

Teachers often supervise the lunch hour, get no breaks or very short ones and then go home to grade papers and prepare lesson plans.

Haven't you ever talked to a teacher about what they do when they go home in the evening?

And some of the teachers have their own families, so if they teach from 9-2, that's 7 hours. If they only worked 8 hours, they would only have 1/7th of an hour or less than 10 minutes to prepare and grade papers for each hour of classroom teaching. These teachers are putting in more than an 8 hour day already.

Are you one of these people who think that teachers just walk into the classroom and know what they are going to do and say? That they have robots who grade the 30-40 papers they have several times a week if not every day?

Where were you in grade school and high school?
