I am very familiar with the scam of "overworked" teachers. My socialist sister is a teacher. (When she retires she will be paid for 180 sick days which is 1 year's salary). My son was a teacher until he got tired of the pc crap. My wife is a teacher's asst. In my officiating side gig, about 40% of the officials are teachers. When we get off the field/gym at 7 pm or after we work all weekend they are not going home to grade papers.
Teachers get 1 class period (about 45 minutes) for lunch & a class period for prep/correcting papers/tests. So much for the at home work.
Once a teacher completes a year in a grade, they only have to do minimal curriculum updates. Multiple choice & T/F tests are corrected either electronically or with an answer sheet placed over the test. Grading one of those tests might take a minute. It is not unusual to give the same tests year after year. Again the work at home thing is a scam. And remember they are not doing anything during their 14 weeks of vacation
Parent teacher conferences happen 2x a year. Lot of work there. In NY, individual parent/ teacher conferences must be held DURING the school day & a sub or the teachers asst covers the class. This is so the teacher can get to their side gig of coaching, clubs, tutoring & other after school activities.
Just hearing the fact that Lewis was/is a teacher is all one needs to know as to just how pathetic the teaching profession has become.
