[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teachers at my schools always say, "What, are they going to fire us?" when we don't meet these insane BS deadlines. Do they understand we don't sit at a desk all day like the ones making the decisions? The planning, grading, etc usually occurs after hours due to the crazy BS meetings that eat up what little planning time we have. Some of my colleagues volunteer to sub during planning for a teacher who is out that day. I don't so I can pick up my kids at daycare by 5pm and not have to pay extra for the hour between 5-6pm.[/quote]

You are right. I just said this recently-it's not a desk job. We can't go to our office and close a door to get all the paperwork done. Things have to change for teachers.[/quote]

Why don't administrators care about these working conditions? Why do they stay silent?

Maybe it's just the nature of social media, but teachers' valid complaints about working conditions tend to pit parents against them when there is little parents can do to change these unreasonable administrative demands. Instead of individual teachers telling parents on social media that they are unreasonable to want teachers to stay a full year or grade or communicate timely, why don't administrators own these problems and address them?
