[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCEA President at their press conference today demanding more early dismissal days like what Howard County has done.  Welcome back weekend Wednesdays! She said ‘the day before thanksgiving being off is just the start’.

So sad that the teachers union pushed for schools to remain closed, and now using the poor outcomes and mental health of students as the reason why they need less teaching time due to their ‘burnout’.   Come on- they get the whole summer off.  Want to talk about burnout- talk to health care professionals.  We stick with it though… we don’t take advantage of a bad situation to advance our own position.

So pathetic.  [/quote]

Summers are not off." They are unpaid time not part of teachers' contracts. But hey, if their gig is soooooo easy, join them! Enjoy that sweet, sweet salary cut of a first year teacher.[/quote]

+1500000....I'm a government contracter for part of the year. I do not work the other 6 months because to be honest, I don't need to. I re-up every six months. No one has EVER accused me of the bs they accuse teachers of because most people understand how CONTRACTS work. Teachers are contracted for ten months a year. Try to keep up. [/quote]

Funny- I always assumed teachers kept their health care subsidies over the summer. I didn't realize their contracts ended and had to go on COBRA.[/quote]

Hm.  Your assumption is not quite right.   Teachers do keep their healthcare over the summer…because they’ve already paid for it through deductions from their ten months of biweekly paychecks!   Funny how that works…[/quote]

Thanks-beat me to it. I love when people think they are owning an argument and are just so very wrong. Embarrassing. [/quote]

Right- you've paid for your share of 12 months of premiums, and MCPS has paid for 12 months of premiums.  For 10 months of work.

I don't know about the other posters here, but my employer stops paying their share of the premiums if I stop working.  [/quote]
