Most people are eligible for between 3 and 4 weeks vacation per year (subtract 120-160 hours), leaves you with 1,960 to 1,920 hours worked. For you old bastards that get 5-6 weeks per year.....congrats.
For the specific teacher I know (before unpaid overtime), ten years experience (likely eligible for 4-5 weeks vacation in private sector):
7:30-4:30 (9hrs) x 5 = 45 hrs / week. 45*52 = 2,340
Less: Christmas (2 week break) = 90 hrs.
Less: March Break (1 week break) = 45 hrs.
Less: Summer Break (8 week break) = 360 hrs.
2340 - 495 = 1,845 hours worked annually.
So.....what are we actually arguing about? A difference of 75 hours worked

In order to make your math work, you're artificially limiting non-teachers to 40 hours per week, while claiming lunch as work for teachers, pretending they don't usually have shorter schedules on Fridays, and skipping over a whole lot of non-teaching days. Nice try.
