180 days a year, compared to usual full time of 240 days a year.

But many teachers are grading papers and doing lesson plans at 9 pm. It depends on how conscientious they are.

All right, so their $100M a year job is the equivalent of a real full time job getting $133M a year. That's over a $550 day rate, which is over $50/hr, at minimum, if the full day rate hours are worked. (Full day rate is generally considered to be ten hours.) Not to mention, teachers and staff get paid extra to work summer school or these new intercession weeks some districts are doing, anything like that.

Grading stuff isn't too hard. Sure, partial credit on wrongnswers in math, or English essays might be somewhat time consuming, everything else is pretty quick right or wrong grading. And that can be done while relaxing at home with a bottle of wine while watching their bachelor show.

Why would a teacher be doing lesson plans til 9p at night? They should already have a rough outline for the year before classes even start, then refine it depending on how fast or slow the class gets through material. And that's a first-year teacher, anyone with a year or two experience should already have lesson plans almost entirely fleshed out from their previous years. Education material doesn't change hardly at all year to year, especially at the K-12 level.
