Sorry, but what you are saying is untrue, and typical of the whining that teachers do about their "overwork" all the time.

Try telling that to my wife. Nurse Practitioner, taught biology as a lifestyle decision. Said it wasn't worth it and went back to nursing.

Teachers average roughly 1250-1400 hours at work.

Lets see, 90 days of school per semester plus one week before the classes begins and one week after classes end. That gives 5 + 90 + 90 + 5 = 190 days @ 8 hours per day = 1520 hours per year.

See, this is why people don't believe teachers when they whinge about overwork: teachers don't work eight hours per day. Most work 6.5 hours per day, with a paid lunch.

But maybe you'll be able to fool someone whose family didn't spend an aggregate of 40 years in the life...
