Study Says Teachers Work More on Sundays Than Other Professionals

by Erica Jacobs, Education Examiner

Making news this week was a study, published in the Monthly Labor Review, that finds that teachers work about the same number of hours as other professionals six days a week, but are twice as likely to work on Sundays.

So what else is new? This weekend I have 175 papers to grade and that will take many hours. Usually I start on Saturdays, but Sunday is crunch day. Why can't there be an extra day added between Sunday and Monday?
