WHY aren't our children being educated on Mondays?

Oh my! Does this really happen???

A teacher devouring hamburgers, donuts, and other “fine delicatessen” while presenting to students is a sad reality. It’s interesting to see the grade team coming with Health lessons on “healthy eating habits”. It’s BS education.

are you joking??? asynchronous work is code for "teacher wants to sleep."

LOL

I also thought that was funny because Mondays are my busiest day. I often have two to three meetings and use a large chunk of that time for grading and to plan for the week.

NP. Wasn’t the overtime for grading and planning done in their own time after teaching hours supposed to justify the months of vacation that teachers get each year that other professions don’t get? I thought it was supposed to even out.

No. I've been working from the building 3x/week, and on Mondays, my school frequently has 25-30 teachers there. At least 10 of us get there between 6:00 and 7:00 and are there until at least 4:00. We are not sleeping on Mondays.

During typical school years, I work 75-80 hours/week.
During Covid, I've worked 70-75 hours/week.

I'd say that still balances out to far more hours/year than most professions work.

This is why it's so important to get these kids back to school. Teachers say they are working as much or more than ever. Students get far less instruction than before, maybe a couple hours each day - but nothing on Mondays.

Uh, okay? That’s random.

Oh stuff it. Life sucks right now, lady. Quit making it worse for everyone by being such a complainer.

That's pretty significantly underachieving. An overachieving kid would read more than is asked for, not the bare minimum. Take time to make the writing the best it can be rather than rushing through, and seek out educational things on her own.

No. The not getting paid in the summer is supposed to justify the not having to work in the summer since slavery is now illegal.

Yes, that’s exactly how capitalism works. You do not do anything for work on your free time so close that mouth hole.

they need to physically get back to school!! Vote on the state legislature mandating the option for in-school learning.

About half the districts in this country have asynchronous days. Some do it on Monday and some do it Wednesday. Why? Because a) with hybrid cohorts it’s easier to do it 2x2 instead of switching A/B weeks, b) when buildings are open it’s a day to deep clean and reduce exposure between the cohorts and c) teachers have literally no existing material or assignments or assessments that can be used in distance without heavy adaptation, modification and outright new creation for a digital format and they need time to be able to do that.

I know you didn’t actually want an answer and just wanted to gripe, but there you go. No we are not the only ones doing this.

Uh no. We don’t get paid in summer because our contract doesn’t cover summer. It ends in June and the new one begins in august. Teachers are essentially furloughed every summer.

Whatever the reason, Mondays are a joke. We count it as a day off because assigning ST Math and whatever other nonsense program isn’t education and only takes at most 1hr to do. I am appalled by the education fcps is delivering.
