Contracts Vary
Some teacher contracts do actually state specific times to start the duty day and to end the duty day. Many contracts just list a number of hours per day. One Northern California school district contract states that teachers will report to work no later then 8:20 and can't leave until 3:20. A seven hour work day. Another district does state seven hours of work a day are mandated.
Some here claim that teachers are poorly paid, yet they hide what they make. Yes, it is no one's business. But a "Google" search will get you to sites that reveal teacher pay around the country. Even a salary of $45,000 per year averages to a bit over $236 a day on a 190 day contract. Most teacher days are seven or eight hours by contract. At eight hours this would be almost $30.00 an hour, or 60 grand if the pay was extended to a full year.
As I have said, we can debate whether teachers deserve more. But it is a fallacy to perpetuate the myth that they are paid a tad above a Walmart employee.
Some folks just can't handle the truth.
