Sorry, as a teacher I disagree. The calender year may show only 190 days...but most private-sector people only work 240 days a year.

Yep. I saw the hard work while growing up. My parents are both teachers, and I'll put the time they work against almost anyone's. Constant research, prep, grading, lesson plans, meetings, and stuff in the summer. They get to school early to help kids, leave late, come home, eat dinner, and then grade until bedtime.

Mr. mm brings work home regularly after spending over 10 hours a day at work. And when there’s an emergency at 2 AM, guess who gets called out of bed to go in to help fix it?

A teacher?
