You're right, that's totally it. I enjoy all the "me" time I get teaching until 1:00 pm and then holding conferences until 8:00 pm on Monday, and then doing it again on Tuesday until 6:00 pm. I have lunch from 10:45-11:15 on both days and then don't have a break long enough to eat again until I leave in the evening. Who knows, maybe I'll even get a chance to pee a few times on those days!  Whoo hoooo!!! Loving the "me" time!! [/quote]

With where math and reading scores are in this County you're not getting any sympathy from me.  Get to work![/quote]

That's a parent/society issue, not a teacher issue. Parents no longer parent and seem confused about the fact that they are actually responsible for raising their children to be productive members of society, and our society is declining as a result. I used to teach, but stopped when it was clear this societal shift was here to stay. It's a losing battle and teachers are the scapegoat. By the way, parent conference days were brutal. Teaching is one of those jobs that everyone should be required to experience for themselves. Retail and restaurant work are the other two. Everyone is the expert until they live the reality and then they sing a different tune. [/quote]
