[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, all you teachers are lazy as fuck. You have been off a week and consider yourself off the clock or it is a slippery slope to answer a few emails written by parents? My husband works construction and takes emails, calls, and texts as needed to help the jobs. Sometimes as early as 5am and as late as 11pm.  I am a physician's assistant and feel the same way.  I check my emails often for patients. Most people in the real world don't work 6hr days and get off weekends, 10+ holidays, winter break, spring break, summers and snow days.  How shameful of any of you who can't put in any effort to email a parent back so you can enjoy your free paid days off. [/quote]

My father was in construction - made himself a millionaire in that field.  But . . . he always had time for family.  When I became a teacher, he was astonished at the work I did just to keep up.  And he always told me to make time for myself.  When I got married and had kids of my own, he again warned me that work could wait.

I don't know what your problem is, but you need to chill out and learn how to be more of a human being and less of a bitch. [/quote]

I agree with your final statement, that poster was a class A bitch-er-roo. But your story is nonsense. Your dad was the boss, as teacher you're not the boss, and you don't have the same luxuries.[/quote]

Yes, I do.  Boundaries are boundaries.  I do my job; I do it well.  If I feel the need to work extra, I will, and in most cases, I am working more than my required hours b/c that's the nature of the job.  But if parents are demanding, and it's MY time with family, I won't jump like a dog when someone whistles.

boundaries, people
Please understand that.

Good, dedicated teachers do more than enough from August through June.
