When I was doing my student teaching for my teacher certification I would spend 90-100 hours a week either in a classroom, planning, grading, or doing coursework for my student teaching. It was unlikely to be any different for my first 5 years as a teacher had I gone into the profession. I make about twice as much now as I would have if I'd gone into teaching, and my work weeks now are more like 50-60 hours.
Saying that contract hours are the actual hours a teacher works is at best disingenuous. It's absolute bullshit.
- yummyfajitas 10y agoThe source I cited is not measuring contract hours. It's based on time diaries of work performed "yesterday". Why don't you try reading it before criticizing it? Most likely you are simply mistaken/lying about the amount of hours you worked. Don't worry - you are in good company. Most people routinely give high numbers for how much they work "usually", as compared to how much they worked last week. http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2011/06/art3full.pdf http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2011/06/art3full.pdf
