Teachers are leaving and few people choosing the field
How many hours per week do teachers work? How many months in a year? I hear exaggerated accounts of teachers working 11 hour days and 60 hour weeks.<p>Sorry..if those are their working hours, there is something wrong. It’s just odd. All public schools teachers are unionized. All the teachers here spout the same numbers for work hours and talk about spending from their pockets for school supplies and working at home.<p>Only in the USA, the teachers are ‘overworked’. And the results aren’t stellar compared to the rest of the world. Maybe something’s got to change. I am not buying it anymore. Unless there is something in American tap water that is making all the kids dumb as rocks.
