Some of the comments in this thread about it being a 2/3 or 3/4 time job are silly IMO.
Not complaining, the time off is worth it. But I can't fathom trying to do this job while only working 40 hours a week.

I think a more accurate measure would be to add the hours per week for an entire teaching career. I know you're young and relatively new to teaching, so longer hours are to be expected. That will taper back the longer you teach as you become more efficient, have established lesson plans, etc. There will also be three months per year where you work literally zero hours per week. That's why I say it's a 3/4 time job. It objectively is. Also, watch some of your colleagues - not all of them are putting in the hours you do. A tip of my hat to you, though. I'm a fan of your posts and have no doubt you are an excellent teacher.
