Sounds like she's budgeting her time to get through the material that will allow the kids to get the material they'll need for mandated school testing - which at our schools is directly related to teacher performance. Pity.

My husband made a math teacher cry over a similar issue - he asked enough questions that it became apparent the teacher was in over her head and was just following the teacher manual, didn't understand the building blocks or foundations involved in what she was teaching.
