[quote=Anonymous][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]

It would have been nice if they did some work-at-home for MCPS teachers.  Most of the real world puts in extra hours.[/quote]

Do you really think teachers only work 6 hour days? Many are there well before school starts and there well after the last bell rings. Their "breaks" are often filled with team meetings, administrative meetings, IEP meetings. So they do put many many hours after they clock out...planning and grading, then planning some more. All teachers I know go above and beyond their pay scale for the good of the students. [/quote]

I don't help teachers, I help my children. So far (in 9 years)I did not meet any teacher who goes beyond her pay scale for the good of my children. [/quote]

The PP is not the OP.  I am the OP. I never said teachers only work 6hrs but that is what they work at school.  Actually, I know elementary school teachers work directly with their students only 4.5hrs a day. They have 70 minutes for lunch/recess. Another 45min when they are at specials. Even if they work a few extra hours, they are still only working 8-9hrs max, and that is generous.

Many jobs work a true 8hr day and then work a few hours more. My husband doesn't work from 5am to 11pm but if an email comes thru, he won't wait 48hrs to return it. Neither would I. How do you justify teachers at home since last Thursday afternoon 48hrs to return an email "if that" because they are off the clock?  Teaching isn't an hourly paid job like McDonalds. It is a profession.  [/quote]
