Teachers work around 195 days a year in their schools. The rest of the year they spend puttering around the house or loafing at the lake or… working.

A few options from the help-wanted ads and other sources for those taking the third route:

    I can’t believe this is actually on your web site – I would withdraw my donation if possible. As a high school social studies teacher, I’m “on the job” 7.5 hours per day, then at home I work AT LEAST another 2 – 3 hours. After 16+ years I have not discovered a way to work fewer than 60 – 70 hours per week and still do a good job educating young people. Shame on you PBS!

    I teach middle school and I work an average of 7.5 student contact hours with no breaks, I eat lunch with the kids, and tutor an extra 30 minutes a day, and only am alone for the three minutes I am able to use the restroom. I also go in 30-40 minutes early and stay 30-40 minutes late regularly. Every teacher I know works no less than 55 hours per week. I have taught in five states and this is always the case. Your survey is flawed.
