Wow, you’ve discovered the mythical teaching paradise where the workload is so light you’re bored! Please publish a step-by-step guide; the teachers with 60-hour workweeks, endless grading, club supervision, and mandatory suits would love to join this enchanted realm. (Bonus points if your principal lets them swap their ties for pajamas!)
As for why people might be downvoting you, it could be they’re just jealous they didn’t land that golden gig where “underworked” is an actual job descriptor.
In the meantime, please spare a thought for all the teachers who’d love to wear casual clothes and have time left over—just as soon as they finish attending the weekly staff meeting that ends at 8 p.m. Enjoy your free time!
