[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t mind them during the school day. It cheapens the profession when I’m supposed to be pied in the face at 7:30 pm on a Friday at a basketball game, but am not compensated for my time.[/quote]

I think it is this attitude, acting like one is an hourly employee, that makes teachers not seem like white collar professionals.  I go to many evening events for work.  I make a salary.  I don’t get paid by the hour.  Those events are just part of my job as a professional.  [/quote]

I suspect you are also paid more than a teacher?

I used to feel this way, that I’m salaried so therefore the work day ends when my work is done. The problem with that type of thinking is that it leads to 70 hour weeks on a 60K salary w/ a masters degree.

There is a limit to what professionals should be expected to do. We currently expect our teachers to give up everything: their time, their own money for supplies, and their sanity.

Teachers aren’t treated like professionals.[/quote]
