[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thoughts on teacher guy posting on AEM about 4 day school weeks? Methinks he's a little off his rocker. [/quote]

He’s been off his rocker for years[/quote]

Don’t be a jerk on an anonymous forum. Get thee over to AEM and comment there with your name if you’re going to criticize (let alone personally attack) individual teachers who are working hard to advocate for teachers and students.[/quote]

Not the PP, but this teacher seems to advocate primarily for things that teachers would like and would make their lives easier - not just their jobs more efficient and therefore more effective.  Much of the advocacy is fine; but I'm getting tired of hearing how teachers would have so much more morale with more paid time off. You can't compare teacher pay with Syphax pay, for example - it's misleading to say teachers don't have certain holidays paid because they are on contracts. Other employees are not. That does NOT mean, however, that I support all the paid time off Syphax employees are getting - it's an embarrassingly shameful amount.[/quote]

How much money could APS save if we cut that, and how much more efficient could it get?   There’s no way you can give that many employees three weeks of paid leave and not have it impact operations or the bottom dollar?   Let building admin and custodial staff keep it, but just them.  [/quote]

And get the Director of Finance under control.  He has gotten himself a Director of Procurement, an assistant director of procurement, now I see an analyst… How many staff does he think he needs?  We never had all of these positions before.  [/quote]
