I look at it from the perspective that teaching is almost 'Seasonal Work.'

I wont dispute that they work hard, if you're working more than the mandated 44 hours per week then yeah, I'd say that counts as working hard.

But you punch in those extra hours in exchange for vacation. I dont think its realistic to expect huge swathes of time off without having to make up for it here and there. If they averaged it out as total hours worked over the course of a working year would they still be in excess of the average?

I also dont like the use of the terminology of working 'hard,' I'd prefer something like working 'a lot.'

Lets be honest, they're not outside crushing big rocks into smaller rocks or anything.
