[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers are burned out. I can’t repeat this enough.

High school teachers are in front of 140-150 teenagers each day, dealing with unimaginable behaviors. When their planning period comes, they are now covering classes since we have a shortage of subs. I didn’t even get to eat lunch twice last week.

Planning lessons and grading work doesn’t happen at school anymore. There’s no time. It happens after we cook our family’s dinner. It happens after we put our own kids to bed. It happens all weekend, and sometimes we have to use our own leave to catch up.

It is unfortunate that students have to wait for feedback, or not get any at all. But it is equally unfortunate that we demand that our teachers sacrifice their own families to get work done. [/quote]

There's no excuse for not letting teachers have a lunch period or taking over their planning periods regularly. No excuse. I don't know how MCPS allows this.

But I'm not sure why you are complaning about after hours work. My parents were teachers and they always were grading at home and on weekends. This is not new. This is how salaried jobs work. Everyone I know who has a salaried job does some amount of work after hours and on weekends no matter what that job is. If you don't want to take work home with you you you should choose a different profession.[/quote]

🙄 go touch grass.  And teachers are leaving. In droves. It’s not your parents’ profession anymore.  Get with it.  [/quote]
