[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a reason that ONLY ES schools get 3 hrs releases? I get planning days, IEP mtgs, whatever, but what about MS and HS teachers??? Are they not privy to 3 hr releases? In theory, MS and, especially, HS teachers' work load is heavier, courses they reach are more intense, (in HS) college-bound students need xyz from them, multi-page essays and FRQs, grading science fair binders, and the list goes on...[/quote] HS is more important curriculum wise so they can’t afford to lose the 3 hours. There is too much at stake. In addition, HS and MS teachers get more planning on a daily basis than elementary school teachers and they only have one subject to teach. They get one full period of planning daily (85-90 minutes) and another period is advisory/Flex Time. Elementary school teachers need more planning time than they are currently getting. [/quote]
