Long Days, Growing Challenges

Public education naysayers and some in the punch-the-clock crowd have long made it a practice of criticizing teachers for the hours they put in on the job. We’ve all heard it: Teachers, they contend, are out of the classroom promptly at 3 pm, enjoy every holiday at home and have summers off.

We know it’s all nonsense but now a new poll supports our position that educators work as hard — or harder — than just about anyone.
