Roughly how many hours do you work a week to achieve optimal work/life balance if you're on salary? I put in roughly 45-50 per week and I'm starting to think I need to tone it down a little.

I only work my contracted hours.

I used to do that. I worked all weekends and holidays, and I realized I needed to stop before I burn out.

I am for 40 but rarely achieve it. (Contractually, we work 35 hours a week) I arrive 30 mins early and stay for 30 mins after school. I end up bringing some stuff home but try not to do it every day.

Makes sense. Very nice that your contract hours are only 35/week!

I suppose I'm usually at about 45. I aim for 40 but there's always some things that come along that take more time. It's not a major complaint with me, but I do try to keep it from going beyond that.

Very similar situation! Glad to know I am not the only one 😊

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
