PP, remember you and your family are more important than your job. Don’t worry about what these dramatic bit**es say, enjoy your bonus. (Another teacher) |
It was your unions that created the problems. Many of us work 60-80 hours a week on a regular basis, not just last year. Overall, teaching was a disgrace in this area last year. Maybe you were the exception, and if so, that I applaud you. But many, many of your teacher kinsfolk weren't and learning suffered greatly across the board. |
Unions? You’re misinformed. |
Much of the FCPS parenting I see in a regular basis is a disgrace. |
Than it's a match made in heaven, |
Seems like it |
Ok these parents suck but that was your fault. Why would you work twice beyond your contract for the same pay and zero respect? Quit letting your family suffer for a JOB. |
Right. Lady, I WISH we had unions set up and ready to do some real collective bargaining - a power only recently bestowed on the myriad teacher associations most of us don’t belong to. What do you think you are accomplishing by diminishing the teaching profession on this forum, by the way? |
No, you don’t. You THINK you work long hours because the meaningless conference calls you “jump on” drone on for hours with nothing actually happening, but you’d last 1/2 day in a pre-COVID classroom. |
Why stop at pre-Covid? |
Second monitor Standing desk Giant whiteboard Interactive tablet for showing work Small document camera Subscriptions to Scholastic resources the school wouldn't purchase because we were virtual, but that I used for small-group instruction |
OP here. I am donating some of my bonus, but to refugee resettlement, not FCPS. I wish I had a lawyer for a spouse. Then I could afford to live in a single-family home and have more than one child. |
Because that was easier than post-Covid! |
Ah. Got it. Definitely! |
Parents cannot have it both ways. There is another thread where we are literally screaming that bus drivers should earn $70k/year so families dont have to drive their own kids to school and now they're begrudging staff bonuses. Which is it? |
