What many do not understand is, teaching is not a 40-hour work week. After a teacher leaves school, he/she still has lesson plans, grading papers, and calling parents. Then, there’s the challenge of working all day with students who have different learning styles and abilities, plus the ones who don’t want to be there, and cause disruptions in the classroom. It’s just not the easy job some people think it is. So, I agree that teachers should be thanked more often than just one day out of the year.
I totally disagree. It is less then 40 hours thus the extra hours at home only bring it to 40 hours. Plus who has a job that gets every holiday off, plus a week in winter and spring and three months in the summer. NO teachers are under worked and over paid not that other way around. Also, if it is so hard working with the kids get another job not one is making do it! WE all get to pick what we do and if we don’t like our jobs we can get new ones. No pity for teachers and this home taught thing is a joke…get to work like the rest of us!

Wonder what home schooling would have been like if the pandemic had happened in the 1960s?
