re: More strikes ahead? Teachers say they love their jobs but can't pay their bills, poll show

If a teacher is working that many hours a year I question their efficiency.
Im in my 15th year and I work to the contract. 6 and 3/4 a day 182 days a year. Always use my 3 personal days and typically use 6 or 7 of my 15 sick days. Add 4 or 5 snow days and my hourly is boarder-line OT baller status

The time off is nice but I use it to flip 2 or 3 houses a year.

Also I don't know many people that can handle a classroom full of middle school kids and teaching them up on the daily..
