Hi Gabe,
Good question! Teachers work hard and even though they have "summers off," they may take classes or upgrade their skills toward higher degrees.
To answer your question, teachers begin their day early, say 7:00 a.m. and leave work most days by 3:00 p.m. With that said, the lesson planning, correcting, and enriching skills go on into the evening plus weekends and can be done at home. Teachers in any discipline also attend meetings after school and take part in student activities such as attending sports games.
Being a teacher is a dedication and the length of each day depends on what is needed to help students succeed.
Best wishes in pursuing a degree in teaching social studies!

Hi Gabe, great question! Most teachers' work days will be pretty closely tied to the school day with some added time to the beginning of the day (maybe an hour or so) to prep for your classes and added time to the end of the day (maybe an hour or so) to complete planning and grading or providing tutoring to students.
