I know plenty of teachers that work on the weekends, stay late because of after school activities and meetings, and get to work way before I wake up (7am).
I just can't stay away!!
Folks like that will NEVER get it and as I said, when we try to point out where they are mistaken, we end up sounding like we are whining about our jobs. If it makes them feel better to think we all get up late, go home early, have leisurely lunches (which makes me laugh out loud!),only work when the sun's out, and get paid exorbitant sums of money-well ok. Hell, why isn't EVERYONE clamoring to be a teacher with that work schedule??
