Very true. Teachers work from 7-3. Only six hours. Standard office job is eight.

Nonsense.

My wife is a teacher and she works 8:00 - 3:30 Monday through Friday. Then, she brings home a mountain of paperwork every night and wrestles with it until about 10:00 or so.

Over the weekend, she prepares and grades tests.

During all this time she has to put up with all the idiot parents who call her all hours of the night whining that junior is getting a lousy grade and it could not possibly be that it is because the little precious isn't completing the work.

I have an office job and put in 9 hours daily plus some on weekends, but my wife puts in much longer hours than I do.

Ditto that.

You wrote exactly what I was going to write.

My wife works her fanny off during the year.

I make more than twice as much as her and put up with 1/3 the aggravation.

But weirdly, she totally LOVES her job.

Unlike me.
