Where else can you go to work for 6 hours a day, for 9 months a year, and make a decent living. Plus gubmint benefits too.

What twaddle.

Counting the time they put in at home and after school, the teachers I know put in at least 10 hours a day. And many of them go to school during the summers.

I'd wager you'll find that to be the case for most teachers.

Then you can say millions and millions of people work more than 11 and 12 hours a day. Who has a 40 hour week anymore? Public school teachers are by far the closest I know of.

The only people I know who drive sports cars and have nanny's, and full health insurance , and pensions and summers off and DON'T have work on the weekends and at night , and have to travel all over the world for days on end, are public school teachers.

Give me a break with the checking the homework at night baloney.
