What if for snow days, teachers had to be telework ready.  Telework could be planning or an online PD class.  Get rid of the scheduled planning days and just work them into the work year.[/quote]

What does that mean, "work the planning days into the word year?"

Planning time means time without students in front of you.   To have that, you need to close the school, OR hire substitutes or aids to take over the care of the students (esp at the elem level)

I'd be thrilled to have more planning time during each day.   An 8 hour workday once every 10 weeks (once per quarter) is 8/10 of an hour per week.
One extra 45 minutes of planning per week or 9 extra minutes per day.   If they could move duty free lunch from 30 minutes a day to 40 minutes per day, I"d be OK with giving up my once a quarter planning day.

That will never ever ever happen, BTW.   THAT'S how tight the elementary school day is, and how understaffed we are.[/quote]

10:59 here. Thank you for chiming in on this. I'm a parent, not a teacher in the system, and this is what I suspected. Also? Thank you for doing what you do period.

The whole thing seems incredibly short sighted to me.[/quote]
