Fourthly, people believe teachers only work six to eight hours a day, but truthfully teachers work just as much as a person working full-time. They must come in early every day so instead of 8:00am they come in at 7:00 or 6:30am. People think they leave at 3:00 to 3:30pm, right after school. Most teachers do not get out of school until 5:00 because of extra activities, helping students, and preparing for the next day. Then, teachers go home and grade for at least three hours. The movie probably mentioned this to help make straight the facts about teaching. People have so many stereotypes on teachers that either make them look bad or have people wanting to go into teaching for the wrong reasons. This fact helps people realize a teacher's life.
