And I'm sure certain cops, nurses, and oil rig workers would feel no sympathy for your day. But let's not stray too far from the main points.
You do bring up a good point, however. This isn't just about the number of work hours, it is also about stress level, and teaching is often documented as a highly stressful job. Stress in any situation can easily affect one's performance. I wonder what the system and the union do to address this issue. Forward-thinking organizations tend to acknowledge workplace stress and have programs in place to deal with it. This kind of thing will likely improve the effectiveness of any organization, education included.
