Your description of "planning" periods sounds like every activity that ever happened in any planning period at any time are all crammed in every day for every teacher. My credulity does not extend that far.

Get real, I didn't say everyone did all those things every day. And, I'll bet the gym teachers don't grade many papers.

Work is seven days a week. I was at my post this morning at 6am. It is now 10:40 and I won't be in bed until after midnight.

But you're spending part of that time FReeping, not working. ;-)

I have two master's degrees and, if you believe the teacher salaries I saw posted here, make much less than at least some teachers.

I have only one master's degree, but if you believe the teacher salaries posted here, I make less than half what some teachers make. I must be in the wrong state, huh?

If I were put in charge, the best teacher would be the highest paid individual in the system. Guidance counselors, because they are essentially useless, would be paid the least. About 75% of the non-classroom staff would be eliminated.

I can't argue with any of that.
