Best Answer

Teachers "officially" work 35-40 hours a week

That's actually at the school.

Teachers are expected to be present at school each day, which means that they have to arrive before the students and they leave after students leave. Add on the time spent marking and grading papers at home; preparing report cards; shopping for supplies (average teacher spends $250 - $500 a year out of his/her own pocket for classroom supplies); getting materials together and preparing worksheets; private research and reading; professional development requirements and continuing education classes; "meet-the-teacher" night and other parent-teacher interviews; staff meetings; extra-curriculum activities such as coaching sports or music groups and entering competitions for same; and you can easily figure an average of 50 hours a week, including weekends.

I am a high school science teacher. Each day, I arrive to work at 6:15 am and I leave everyday around 4:15. I tutor students from 3:00 - 4:00. When I get home, I make lesson plans for the next week. I probably spend about 30 minutes per day on planning for the next week. I make up a power point and worksheet. I probably spend 5 hours per week. I grade papers. I have a150 students. If the paper is essay or short answer----takes approximately 3 minutes per student to grade. If the assignment is multiple choice/matching, I may spend about 30 seconds per student grading. (I don't have time to grade during class since I am teaching and talking one on one with the students. On weekends, I grade. I probably spend approximately 5 hours on grading. OH and I put grades in the computer. I probably spend about 30 minutes per class. In one week I estimated that I put in 82 hours all together.

teachers are expected to be at school for 30 minutes each side of the school bell so officially 7 hours per day + attend any meetings outside of school hours + programing, marking and reports outside of these times.

Teachers are not paid by the hour. They sign a yearly contract and get a yearly salary which is paid monthly. A teacher's pay rate is determined by the number of college units, degrees, and years of experience. Each district is different in what they pay teachers and it varies from state to state as well.
