Teaching is a part time job because they work fewer hours per day, get more holidays and breaks, and have most of the summer off, as compared to a full time worker who is on the job about 2080 hours per year, except for a few holidays and a couple of weeks vacation. Some teachers claim to spend extra hours after the school day, but, that time is not clearly defined, monitored, or mandated, and I have known teachers who do not spend very much time after the regular hours. If they burn out, they are probably in the wrong profession. My opinion.
