Donna,

I think that probably the first year is the hardest.  Once you get your
routine set and know what you are going to do, it gets easier.  But,
there will always be new things you will want to add or try.  So the
hours will probably be about the same.

I am on a 10 month contract. Since I am held accountable for my students
and have to follow up, I think this is the least they can do.  We have
so much more paperwork than other teachers.  

I don't know if this helps you, but I hope you get what you want.
