180 days
Based upon Professor Bachenheimer's video, the notion that we only spend about 48 hours per year instructing our students is rather poignant. It seems that educators get so bogged down in the administrative tasks associated with teaching that the ultimate goal is often lost in the shuffle. If there were some way to cut through all the red tape we would have more time, and energy, to devote to our children. I'm not sure how this aspect of schooling could change, but sometimes it's just nice to dream. Wouldn't you agree?

I agree. I just wish there were more of a focus on a few classes per day as opposed to 5-7 classes that each last 40-50 minutes. If college classes meet once or twice per week....why are HS students going to the same classes everyday....?
On that note, maybe elimating the harsh contrast of subjects, and show the students that they all interrelate.
I agree as a teacher we spend too much time doign administrative tasks than anything else. We responsible for so much more than educating our students and it is ridiculous.
