I am a college student, work part-time in childcare, and I am also doing a practicum at an area middle school this term. I log 12 hours in class a week, plus the 10 hours required for my practicum. Typically I go straight from class to the middle school four days a week. The childcare job takes up a couple evenings a week (the schedule is extremely variable), plus Sunday mornings; I work a minimum of 5 hours a week, but it is usually more. Add to that the couple of hours I spend studying every day, and you end up with a 40-hour plus week. I also babysit occasionally.
If I were to become a middle school teacher, my workday would start at 8:00am and go until 4pm, with a 45-minute lunch and a prep period. I'd also get summers off, and regular holidays, plus sick leave AND personal days. Sounds good to me. And 8th graders aren't that bad.
