I’m a firm believer that teachers should drive decision making. We are the ones who see what students can do and what they need. We are the ones who see the changes in student ability and behavior year after year. We have the bag of tricks that we can draw from when we encounter problems. Central office provides fads, things that are being sold as solutions by people who never stepped foot in our classrooms. [/quote]

Teachers can also be in bubble and be obvious to the needs of  parents and kids. Like when I get last minute requests for a meeting at the school for 3pm when my shift finishes at 5 and my manager can’t let me go since we are already under staffed. Or having parent days during a work day during the summer dunce it’s vacation, no I am not on vacation!  Schools should get input from outside their eco chamber. [/quote]

Teacher here. You do realize that teachers don’t schedule things like parent days, correct? Once again… that’s central office and administration. Teachers are also parents. We know what restricted schedules are like. After all, we have them ourselves. I have to take 4 hours of leave (a half day) in order to go to my own daughter’s school for her upcoming concert at 10am. Think the teachers scheduled that?
