Education

teachers have something called a contract day, which specifies what hours they must work. Normal people accept job responsibilities then go home at the end of their contract day. Teachers have voluntarily agreed to do more work than can be done in their contract day so they stay way beyond the agreed to hours to do the work FOR FREE. Smart school boards have figured this out and dump more work load on the teachers. This is a choice teachers make, then they go all martyr-complex and blame the schools/school board/state.

Which employer will not take advantage of a group of workers who volunteer to be suckers? Nobody at Burger King volunteers to work 3 hours off the clock 5 days a week plus more on weekends.

Teachers need to say "if it can't be done during the contract day we are not going to do it." Then the contract day must be renegotiated with additional hours added in for additional compensation and with additional assistance AND work duties need to be adjusted accordingly.
