Oh, here we go. Yup, teachers have the easiest job in the world. Huge pay, barely have to go there, little effort. Yup. My contract stipulated 1400 minutes of instructional time per week. So, that only 23 1/3 hours a week. Then there's 6 2/3 hours of "assignable time." So, only 30 hours a week! Score!! What a great job.
Studies show teachers work on average the same number of hours (approx 2000) per year as similarly employed people. Seems that there's a lot of work that takes place outside of the actual time in the classroom. Huh.
