There is just as much marking now with computers, especially with the various virtual learning platforms.
And many subjects are still using exercise books. I see so many teachers staying til late to mark books in the school I work at.
Many spending time at weekends too.
I think a 4 day week would be briliant for everyone, especially from a mental health perspective too. It would really help de-stress everyone.
We live in this world now where everything has to be done at once, immeditately. We need to slow down.
