I don't know how you can say this nonsense in every teacher thread. Every job has requirements and responsibilities that go beyond the "day's work." What most jobs don't have are THREE MONTHS off per year to do that stuff in. Not to mention their day with students is really only like 6 hours long and they often have spares within that short day.
Have you even worked in the real world? There are seminars, business trips, late nights, weekend work, Blackberries, on-call responsibilities, etc. Being a teacher is a cake-walk compared to most corporate jobs and has the slackest schedule of any job, anywhere with very good pay - it's so good in fact they keep paying you for a few decades after you retire!
