Re: Percentage of time spent actually working.
Well I'm a high school teacher, and my official workday is from 7.55 - 2.55:
7.55 - 8.55 period 1
9.00 - 10.00 period 2
10.00 - 11.25 break
11.25 - 12.25 period 4
12.25 - 12.55 lunch
1.00 - 1.55 period 5
2.00 - 2.55 period 6
And I'm done for the day. Obviously on days grades are due or if I give a test, I spend a few minutes after school grading, but that usually amounts to about an hour or so per week.
No teacher in their right mind would be up teaching for all 55 minutes (I typically teach 25-35 minutes, depending on the material). The rest of the time is spent with either classwork or quiz or whatever. But then again, it's not like I can just disappear and surf the web the rest of the time. I still have to make sure the kids aren't getting out of hand or anything. So I dunno, I guess I'll just say I work about 50% of the time.
