As a teacher I sometimes feel like there is a mismatch between the amount of work I do and how that work is counted towards meeting my job requirements.

Like most teachers I'm expected to teach a certain number of courses. But it doesn't matter if it's a course I've taught before, or a totally new course I've developing it's all counted the same.

Designing a new course is much harder and takes much more time than teaching the same thing I taught last year to new students.

@futurebird the last time I prepared a new hour long lecture it took me five hours, and that was a lecture for adults who already buy into the epistemologic framework of evidence based medicine

I can't imagine how long it would take to do a version of that for kids
