I think your expectations are reasonable. I used to have to work 11 hour days once or twice a week. We finally managed to convince our manager that it was ridiculous, and scheduling could be done better to avoid that sort of thing. I'd work 9am to 7:30pm (9 hours of which would be one-on-one therapy with with three different children with autism) and I'd have 3 hours of commuting time before and after the shift. So many people at my office have quit in the last year, but I think the number would have been a lot higher if they hadn't changed that. What does the teacher's union think of these ridiculously long days?
