They're claiming that they need more time for personal life so they can take care of more family duties and cap the teaching hours at 28hrs/wk.
If you think that a teacher works 28hrs/wk, you better think again. If you think a teacher works 40hrs/wk, you better think again. A very commited teacher can work up to 80hrs a week (teaching, lesson planning, running extra-curricular activities, etc.). If you ask me, they deserve 2 months vacation a year. Also, you know that they do work on those "professional days" right? Only the students get the day off.
