How long do you spend at school?

[Nonie241419]

And how much do you work at home? My DH bit my head off tonight when I got home and told me I'm working ridiculous (unnecessary) hours. I get to work between 7.30 and 7.45, and leave pretty close to 6. I only work 2 days a week and have a staff meeting after school one night, then run (compulsory) after school club and have a meeting with my sort of job share after school on the other night. I get paid for PPA time, so don't get any non-contact time in the school day. I rarely get time to mark whilst at school as so much of my time is spent gathering resources, setting up/preparing and tidying up, plus tasks/conversations that have to happen actually at school.
As such, I bring lots of marking/planning home, and spend 1.5-2.5 hours on it around 5 nights a week. DH thinks I'm doing something wrong and that no other teachers spend this amount of time working. Certainly, I can't imagine being able to keep on top of work if I worked full time so there must be something wrong with my time management.
I'm really struggling with the pressures of work. I am plagued with mouth ulcers and have broken out in hives this week after a horrible staff meeting. I'm already drowning under marking and am utterly on the back foot with nearly everything (new year group I've not taught since teacher training 12 years ago, and no useful info/planning/overview of what we needed to do until the weekend before school restarted in September).
I'm seriously thinking I'm not good enough to be a teacher, that I'm letting everyone down, but I can't think of anything else I'd actually be good at/cope with.
Is DH right and I'm working too many hours for what I actually achieve?

You make alot of valid points..
When I hear the word 'journey' being used in any context other than travelling literally/ geographically it makes me want to weep...

I know, but that is pretty much the question as I was asked it!

Replace it with 'Show me the evidence that you have differentiated for this child in this lesson, including how you have based that differentiation on your assessment of their work in the lesson yesterday'.... same question, differently phrased. I particularly enjoyed 'show me evidence of regular dialogic marking in your Maths books, and how it has moved the child's learning on'....

Aargh!! Absolutely hideous, poor you!
I have long since given up trying to follow directions from The Very Top since I was told at an lea meeting " and this is the polar opposite to what the guidelines were previously " ( luckily I hadn't been doing those either!- I realise others may not be as fortunate with their SMT as I was to leave me to it.)

Teacherwith2kids, I agree, the pressure in mainstream primary is hideous now, particularly in some schools. I was lucky to get out when I did!

What I don't get is how mainstream teachers who I go in to support/advise think that my job is something they couldn't face doing!

I posted this and was then too depressed to check the replies, but I've now seen how many its got and am ashamed of myself for posting and running.
My marking is excessive because it's a new year group and our marking policy is unclear, so I spend a long time thinking about my comments/next steps and corrections. So one piece of work takes a long time to mark. Not helped by me marking in the evening when I'm tired and even slower.
I can't decide if I'm cheered up that I'm not completely out of touch with the 'norm' or miserable that these hours are actually fairly normal and there's no way to improve things.
