Am teacher, had to move away from my students and community cuz I couldn't afford to live there anymore. Free time was spent grading and lesson planning.
Fuck no we don't. I came in at 7 every day to turn on my from-home heaters in the class cuz my classroom didn't have heat, and cuz we were a working class school so students got dropped off hella early from their parents who were on their way to work. And I stayed until 6pm cuz we were in a bad neighborhood and some kids got picked up by their parents coming home from work and I didn't feel right telling those kids to go wait on the street. This is a community where houses sell for $600k+ and 90% of the students are on free/reduced lunch
Nope teachers get paid for the school day +30ish minutes before and after students arrive/leave. Any work done outside the school is usually unpaid. And school boards still complain that paid prep periods shouldn't be allowed, basically guaranteeing teachers will have to work unpaid hours.
