There..... Now it's fair.

Just like everyone else who has a job, I have break times and lunch time. If I choose to use that time to comment on a forum, that is my right.

Besides, I'm not an hourly wage earner. Therefore, I get paid a salary to accomplish my job regardless of time.

Which is to say that I could very well call parents after hours when they are more likely to be at home or I can choose to do lesson plans at 2 am if I want to.

If teachers were " on the clock" I would have a lot more free time at home. But no, I do plenty of work when most people get to clock out.

So don't even go there. I put in more hours a week than most people and I don't get paid overtime.
