[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a 40 hour work week if you divide my time evenly with all students each one gets 14 minutes (providing I don't eat, attend department/staff meetings or use the bathroom). In that time I need to do everything for that student: teach them the content, make their lessons, make their tests, grade their papers, attend their IEP meetings, meet with their counselors, co-plan with team members, adopt new materials, disaggregate data to inform instruction, etc. When you take into consideration all of the "back-end" stuff that takes place it takes it down to maybe 4 or 5 minutes per student. If each email takes 2-5 minutes it eats into my most limited of resources: time.

Of course I spend more time than this working because their are more needs than will fit into a 40 hour week, but their are not enough hours in the day to get everything done to high standards all the time. I'm not trying to justify it because I try really, really hard to get everything done to the best of my ability (like almost all of the teachers I know). The reality is that something has to give. And if something has to give it will  never, ever be the well-being of my students or the teaching quality they receive. [/quote]

Such a bullshit answer.  You don't spend individual  time with each student, I've not seen any results of superior Instruction come home.   The writing assignments are laughable.  I can't imagine it would take any time to put a P or an A on every paper.   There are maybe a handful of comments that come home every year on any assignment.   Tests are few and far between and are not created by teachers.   You probably spend more time at the copying machine than anything else,  making copies of that horrible curriculum.

There were excellent teachers in my child's HGC, the rest have been mediocre and honestly overpaid for their level of performance.
