Wow. That's a lot of time. Teachers sure should get paid more.

I wonder whether posting a few comments here will encourage other people to join the conversation.

I reckon you should keep these stats and every time some letter writes in whinging about teachers getting '10 weeks holidays and only working 6 hours a day' you can reply with this…
(I find commenting on other people's blogs makes them more inclined to comment Nathan!)

No, Amy, teachers really do have 10 weeks holidays (I think it might be 12 at my husband's school) and only work 6 hours a day.
Teachers should work for love and not money.

Possibly this is lack of sleep talking, but I can't tell if that is sarcasm.

Don't worry. It's sarcasm. My husband is a teacher who has just embarked on a ridiculous report card writing marathon, and I was a teacher in my post mummy life, who was well and truly overworked and underpaid.

Lucky you Carly! I'm sure you'll just love report writing. I can give you a little taste of it now if you'd like.

Oh Robyn, I can't tell you how much I would love to write some reports for you, but sadly exams start next week, so I simply must continue studying. What a shame.. perhaps another time? ;)

I actually have plans to flee the country immediately after exams, so that won't work either. So sorry.

I have this mental image of me running after your plane waving reports at you… It's making me laugh.

Carly,
Thanks for the comments! I gave you a couple of special mentions in my review post just because you've been nice here…
