[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS teacher here. I am in meetings for usually 5 hours  on Mondays. I spend 2-3 hours with my language arts team planning and preparing the comi week’s (or the week after if we are ahead) lessons, assignments, and recordings. So, we aren’t continuously live that whole time. Then in the afternoon we meet as a grade level team and review the planned lessons each person did for the week with the team so we are all prepared to teach it as well as discuss assessments, scheduling for interventions, projects coming up. Then I also work preparing things on my own and working on IEPs or other paperwork (I’m a special Ed teacher for this grade level).

APS changed their plan for tomorrow just a few weeks ago, and some teachers, like MANY students, will still be traveling back and not able to hold synchronous classes tomorrow. You wouldn’t know if they had taken the day of asynchronous but it was likely already planned in advance. Sorry yea hers don’t get to take their earned leave in your view.

Mondays are still a complete waste of time. Notice no teaching actually happens. You can list your Monday plans all day. Kids are not learning on Monday. Full stop. [/quote]

If kids are not learning, how is it a waste of time. Don’t log in. If any of you think it takes 40 hours of week to learn that is the problem. In a regular year, Kids are only actively being taught at most 3 hours per day anyway! And learning is even less time.[/quote]

Geez so how much do teachers make per hour of actual teaching time if that’s the case? It’s got to be higher per hour than all other tax payer funded positions etc maybe the top positions in government with all the breaks, holidays, and the summers. I’m in the wrong profession. [/quote]
