I fail to see your point.  "The 1080 hours of student learning time is just the classroom time with students. They do not include staff meetings which are paid work hours."
.
As I said: "I spend my lunch time, most evenings and some weekends at my desk, at HPD and/or in court."   Many professions require off hours research and being on call which equates to working more than 8 hour days and 40 hour weeks. 
.
As stated previously "In other occupations 1080 hours would be considered less than full time employment and hence not qualifying for health care or retirement benefits, both of which are afforded to teachers."
.
I doubt 1000 hours are spent annually in staff meeting, which in my experience are non-productive time.
