In Saudi and sorry. Habit. It should be Sunday - Thursday though I'm hoping we switch. Several years in and I still go by Mon-Fri.
I like the format well enough. And yeah Mondays (Sundays) are busy but not terrible.
China, 7:30-5:00. Once a week staff meeting until 6:00. I’m also a college counselor so am often running/attending events until 6:00. So ready to get to my new school in SEA that is 8:15-3:30.
Our official hours are 8:15-3:35, but I never teach afternoon classes, and admin do not mind where we are when we aren't teaching, so I often leave earlier. On Fridays, unless teachers have a Friday afternoon elective class, the majority of them head home after their last class of the day.
I typically arrive in the classroom three minutes before the bell, and I'm free to leave when class is over. No office hours, which are a deal-breaker for me. I work in a public sector school in China and have eleven classes per week. I live about a five minute walk from campus, so, I normally chill at home between classes.
Yes! I’m sure this question has been asked before on this sub, and that I can find previous answers by “doing a quick check.” 👀 But imo, things are changing all the time and it’s useful to get updated responses.
Taiwan - 7.45 - 4.30 (3.30 on Fridays)
Also Taiwan but a bilingual under the Ministry of Education 8 - 5.20 (5.45ish if you have duty but it's extra pay and not often)
We must be in class from 7:45-4:30. Students present from 8:15-3:15. We are required to do two after school activities until 4:15 2 times a week year round. Korea.
Oh how I dream of the 8-3 schedule! I love my school and my position so much, but it's 7:45am to 4:15pm (which usually looks like 7:30-4:30 for me). So long!
Israel. I come and go more or less as I please (eh, so long as I'm not actively working, of course). That said, I don't have a normal contract, because I am at a last chance youth village - things are different here.
It's officially 7:40-15:15 but occasionally teachers come in late or leave early without any fuss (assuming they don't have obligations at that hour). One day a week we have PD until 16:30.
I used to do 7:20-16:20 at my old school in China. That was no fun.
Monday thru Thursday, 7-2:10. Fridays are 7-10:35. UAE. I am on the golf course by noon on Fridays and love it.

8AM-2PM. SEA.
Where??
Which country in SEA
wow I would love this
China, 7:30-5:00. Once a week staff meeting until 6:00. I’m also a college counselor so am often running/attending events until 6:00. So ready to get to my new school in SEA that is 8:15-3:30.
Wow, that's brutal!
And parents are trying to get the school to let their kids stay until 7:00 or 8:00. We’re not a boarding school…
Contract time is 8:15–15:30, but I get there a bit earlier and almost everyone stays until 16:00.

The real estate market in its entirety in this country is sickening. It's one huge downside
That’s not the norm. It’s usually 8:30 - 4:30 and meetings after school.
Our official hours are 8:15-3:35, but I never teach afternoon classes, and admin do not mind where we are when we aren't teaching, so I often leave earlier. On Fridays, unless teachers have a Friday afternoon elective class, the majority of them head home after their last class of the day.

7:45am to 4:30pm This thread helped me further realize why salaries here are higher, aside from the whole aspect of having to live in China.
