A teacher stays at school until 6 pm, brings work home for the evening, and spends Sunday planning the week ahead. Another maintains boundaries—leaving at contract time, not answering emails evenings and weekends—and faces both judgment and sustainability questions. A survey shows teachers working far more than contracted hours, with implications for wellbeing, effectiveness, and professional sustainability. Teacher workload has expanded while hours in the day have not, creating conditions that strain both teachers and the quality of education they provide.
