Teacher to student:
You'll have to come back tomorrow - we're out

I'm not marking tests [at home] on "my time".

They used to pay us 3:1. You got paid an hourly rate
that seemed kind of low, but for every ONE hour of
classroom time they also paid you for THREE hours
of "prep time". That was when they expected you
to grade papers, prepare outlines etc.

I think it started getting weird when the labor
and union people tried to make sense out of "how can
people show 32 hrs of work in one 24 hr period?"
