This paper analyzes the long and continuous work hours of elementary school teachers by reviewing teachers'work-style during lunchtime and lunchtime recess, especially from 11 : 30 to 13 : 30. The problems on teachers'over-work are exposed recently, and the solutions to lighten the teachers'duties are in necessity. Elementary school teachers are busiest in working hours, when students are in the school. They are too busy to take a break during working-hours. This paper defines this phenomenon as "continuous work hours". From the analysis, this paper concludes that many teachers have duties that cannot control by themselves during lunchtime and those uncontrollable duties makes teachers to work long and continuously. Especially, teachers in charge of 1st and 2nd grades are in this trend. To solve this problem, this paper suggests two things. One is to lighten the workload of lunchtime teaching. By setting the lunchroom and cafeteria-aids, teachers'workload on teaching in lunchtime will be relieved. Second, is making a controllable time during their working hours, such as in the morning class. This can be done by assigning special subject teacher, such as art and music. By making the controllable time during the working hours, teachers'health can be more guaranteed than in the past.
