The topic was asking about comparing Big Law to TFA. Not Big Law to teaching generally. Your graph is about as helpful as one comparing the hours a 1st-year TFA corps member spends working to the hours worked for anyone involved in the legal profession. It just isn't relevant.Desert Fox wrote:jrthor10 wrote:Desert Fox wrote:I don't think a teacher has ever, in the history of the world, canceled dinner plans for work.smallfirmassociate wrote:
If it's to 8 year-olds? Roughly nine minutes. I spent a whopping half-hour preparing for my last contested three-hour hearing in front of a crowded courtroom, two opposing parties, five attorneys, an ornery judge, and a client who is paying me a lot of money to look good. (And yes, I won.)
I always hear these mythical stories about teachers having to work all the time, but all the teachers I know have a shit ton of time off and are out and about every weekend. Funny how that works.
Hell teaches don't even have meetings after hours. If there are meetings, they cancel school that day. Just lol.
If big lawyers billed hours how teachers count theirs, we'd each bill 3500 a year.
DF you literally have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to teaching. Not really surprised, though. I used to find TLS interesting and potentially helpful. Since you decided to start posting every two minutes in every forum imaginable it has really forced me away. You either spew nonsense on topics you have no clue about, or you start topics to "warn" others, which ironically, only serve the purpose of convincing more people you are weird, and you're advice should be ignored.

I hope you were the guy I helped ding for an SA.
Also notice that I didn't try to make any claims about how many hours a TFA teacher puts into their job--I merely pointed out that you are making a lot of assumptions when you suggest that such a TFA teacher would never miss dinner for work-related responsibilities or that TFA teachers don't have meetings except on days that school is canceled. Those things are very, very false.
