[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife is a MCPS teacher and leaves the house at 7am; gets home at 6:30pm; eats dinner; and then grades papers/plans until bedtime....[/quote]

She sounds like a very devoted woman but what she is doing only hurts the rest.  In what other job do employees routinely bring work home?  Do carpenters come home and then walk down the block asking if people need carpentry work?  Do firefighters come home and then drive around looking for fires?  What about grocery clerks?  Do they go home and eat and then go back to the store and stock shelves for free?  I would doubt it.

This culture of teachers doing free work at home has to stop.  Counties, municipalities, etc, know that teachers will do that so they have grown to expect it.

I say that papers stay at the school, go home and relax, and if principals want extra work out of you then let him pay you overtime.  I refuse to do anything more than occasionally looking around the Internet for interesting items to talk about in class.[/quote]
