FWIW: I taught high school English for about ten years. In addition to my regular 40 hrs, I routinely prepped, marked up writing, etc for an additional 15-20 hours per week.

I left in June and took a new job at a small tech consultancy here in Minneapolis. Teaching is a special job in many ways, but the material benefits of exiting education are stark (at least for me).

The students are required to work for hours more per week, why not the teachers?

Because I signed a contract that specifies contractual hours and duties?

Students are the ones benefiting from their own work AND the work of the teacher.
