[quote=Anonymous][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]

LOL. I'd like that schedule; it's not mine, but yes, I teach Pre-K. You're welcome to switch to the grade if you find it that easy. It's the one grade in our district that has openings Every. Single. Year. Must be because teachers can't handle how cushy it is.  :lol:

To the PP, I'd rather not post my schedule, but suffice it to say that my approach isn't common in the building. Of the 20 teachers in my building, I'm one of only 3 who actually leaves within a few minutes of contracted hours most days. The majority of teachers are there for hours afterward. I can only imagine they're busy wine tasting with how easy their jobs are. [/quote]
