Even take all of their prep work and volunteering and everything else and spread it over a standard work year and where do they fall?
Even this weekend, Monday is a holiday and I guess Friday was a 'Professional Development in Vegas' day?

School year is 40-41 weeks, plus another week or two total before and after the school year where they're in the school.
Take out the stat holidays (I think there are 5 or so that aren't covered by summer, Christmas, and Spring Break) and they have about 200 work days a year. Different people will work different hours, but the government uses 9.1 hours per work day for teachers for things like EI calculations which would put them in the 1800-1850 hour a year range. Some will certainly work less than that and some that run a lot of extracurricular activities will work more. And the utterly lazy and useless ones probably work the bare minimum of about 1500-1600 hours a year.
