Shocking! People who don't work at a computer don't post on CP during the day. You can say the same thing about the majority of posters on here in Construction, Cleaning, and other non-desk jobs.
Should I claim teachers job's aren't that hard because the ones I know post like mad on facebook all evening?
You posting habits, whether here or in some other place, say far more about how engaged you are with offline people and things (work or otherwise) than it does about how hard a job is. Is a person who walks to the water cooler when need a few moments of diffuse mode thinking to wrap his or her head around something working less hard than one who posts a comment on CP instead?
Edit: To clarify, I'm not claiming most teacher's don't work hard. I know that for most teachers in the first few years they do an immense amount of work in lesson planning, but as things settle in, the workload becomes more manageable. I also know that it can be very stressful. However, beyond lesson planning, it seems the majority of what makes teaching hard right now is due to large class sizes.
