[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new teachers don't have any tenure, job security, or support from fellow teachers or admin.  We are actually also required to mess with the numbers to appease upper mgmt.  We have to play this game and push 60 + hours per week.

The teachers that are tenured could (and many do) take naps, surf the web, plan during class, etc. and you guys make the profession get a bad rep of teachers are lazy, entitled, etc.

Don't y'all remember when you got out of college.  Was it as corrupted and chaotic in schools as it is in the modern age.  I think not.  Y'all enjoyed and got tenure in the good old days when teachers got respect or could give detention.[/quote]

Not meaning this is a snarky way.  But if teachers aren’t planning lessons anymore (not like they used to), and the slides are already made, and EdTech programs you must used are there, and graded is more or less automated by computer tests/quizzes or multiple choice tests- what are you spending all the outside class time hours doing? Not trying to be snarky.  But it’s very clear teachers are spending less time than ever creating lessons, materials, grading hand written work, and actually teaching- but they are all complaining about the hours worked.
