[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the PPs who religiously enters and leaves at contracted hours and typically only does about .5h a week of work outside of class (except for during assessment season 3x a year when it can shoot up to 14h a week for 3 weeks). I also have 2 kids and plans for up to 2 more. Of the 20 teachers in my building, I'm one of only *3* with children under 5 and one of only 5 with kids under 10. The building is definitely full of older parents who don't value their time at home. I'm not one of them.[/quote]

I'd love to see how you get all your work done. Can you post your schedule?[/quote]

This must be the Pre-K teacher. If her schedule is anything like the Pre-K teacher's schedule at my school, then that's why. The morning kids arrive at 9:00 then eat lunch at 11:00 and leave at 11:15. They have 30 minute specials 4 days/week and play outside for 30 minutes. Then the afternoon kids don't arrive until 12:55. They eat lunch when they arrive, then have 30 minute specials 4 days/week and also play outside for 30 minutes. The teacher only has to plan for a total of barely an hour of instruction daily because the lessons for AM and PM are repeated. She also has a paraeducator in her room at all times. If you can handle working with 4 year olds, it's the cushiest teaching job in the school system.[/quote]
