I have 3 close friends who teach kindergarten. I even had the privilage to actually go to one of their classrooms to be a 'helper' for a day... and I can honestly say I couldn't do what she does everyday. In her district she has 2 seperate classes - one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. That makes about 60 pages to grade for just one assignment, and they go through several a day. And it's honestly more than 2+2 stuff. They also have to fill out progress reports, report cards, and on top of lesson planning and everything else they have to do.
