Same boat here. I pretty much assume that my wife will work at least 8 hours, uncompensated, every weekend. She typically works 7-4 at school, and then an hour or two at home. Because we've worked overseas, she has no seniority (years overseas don't count where we're at). Every year since being back in the states, she has been given a slightly different set of classes that have required her to spend a sizable portion of her summer developing new materials--again, pro bono. I honestly hope she will leave teaching. Part of her extreme work schedule is self inflicted (she genuinely values her students and wants to hold them to a high standard, which creates a lot of work for her). However, I can't see anyone doing as much as she does for an entire career.
