Largely because people in the private sector work far more hours.[/quote]

The "extra hours for free" and "unpaid overtime" comments make me roll my eyes.  Do teachers realize that other professionals are classified as "exempt" and do not get paid overtime?  "Overtime" is a concept for non-exempt employees.

Oh, and summers?  MCPS pays teachers for spending time on workshops, etc.  Is that not "overtime"?[/quote]

Back to add, and union protection?  Other professionals do not have this.[/quote]

Sigh. Most teachers here are simply asking people to respect that they also work long hours. They aren’t all suggesting that YOU don’t also work long hours. Is it so hard to acknowledge that some teachers work nights? Weekends? What does it take away from you to acknowledge that? What do you gain by picking on teachers? I’d really like to know.

Also, not everything on this thread is about MCPS. My district doesn’t pay for my summer workshops. Sometimes I even have to pay. As for the union, get rid of it! Please! It doesn’t do much to protect me and clearly it doesn’t bargain better conditions. [/quote]
