How close do you stick to your contract hours?

My official contract is something like 8:15 to 4:15 or something, but honestly I come in at like 7:50 and leave at 4:00. If I stay later than 4:00 people start telling me to go home already hahaha.

I drive, so it isn't like I have any busses to miss or anything, but my placement is pretty rural so it's maybe a 40 minute drive up and down the mountains each way. And the road is very small so I leave early just in case I get stuck behind someone driving super slow the whole way.

On the flip side though, I'm technically supposed to get an hour break for lunch and stuff. But I don't. They make me eat with the students and then do after lunch English club stuff. So my hour break technically doesn't exist outside of maybe summer when school is closed.
