If you don't mind me asking, what exactly do you do? I'm a special education case manager which requires a ton of report writing, IEP meetings, and consultation with teachers in my department. I don't consider checking email as 'bringing work home" though. I consider that bringing home case files, writing complicated reports, or doing some form of data analysis... Teachers, principals and district admin constantly email after hours. I generally respond because that's my MO, but I don't have to respond... I just don't have time the following day to write something I could have written at 9pm the night before. I also work 12 months, so I love the summer months because there's very few staff and lots of time to get ahead.
