Paft: they must grade papers, draw up lesson plans, and communicate with parents. waf: OMG the horrors of having a job! lets not pretend that teachers have it rough paft.
Whenever you're confronted by a fact contrary to what you've claimed, you resort to histrionics.
Waf: by that standard, most jobs already have it. and students! OMG, we need a student union to protect us against those evil teachers!!
Uh, no. I've taught and I've done other jobs over the past 25 years, and those other jobs did not demand the same level of take-home work that teachers face. Yeah, students get homework. Teachers have to grade as many as 30 homework papers a night, AND they draw up the lesson plans and deal not just with the parents of all or many of their students. And by the way, many of those teachers don't spend those summers relaxing. They go to conferences, attend classes, and otherwise gear up for the school year.
