[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had our meeting last week. The compensatory hours offered are miniscule and would happen over the summer based on staff actually applying to work during that time. Hopefully it is better and more meaningful than Recovery Services were. (Such a joke.) I don’t need childcare—I always pay for camps—but starting services at 10am (or an even more inconvenient time 11am? 1pm?) will just show me they were hoping parents bailed due to inconvenience (Aja needing to keep their jobs) and they can check the box that they were offered.

Trying not to be so jaded, but old habits die hard.[/quote]

Teachers are feeling jaded too and taken advantage of. I don't know many teachers willing to raise their hand for this. Good luck![/quote]

In all seriousness. What did teachers think would happen when they were given a pass on fulfilling taxpayer-funded job duties? The services are called compensatory because they are meant to COMPENSATE for all the services kids didn't get.[/quote]

Teachers didn’t have a choice. I checked the box saying I wanted to teach in person. I sat at school every day doing a song and dance on the computer. I had kids back in my room the first day they were allowed and then taught awful concurrent for months. And now I’m being punished for a decision someone else made for me.

If gatehouse hired people to do all this additional paperwork and organize the meetings and sit in 6583625 meetings, there’d be no fussing from most staff. But being told “You need to clean up the mess you didn’t make” is just insulting and demoralizing. And they are offering $9 per student for staff doing all the paperwork and conducting the meetings. Many hours of additional work. $9. That’s insulting too.[/quote]

This $9 per student statement doesn’t make any sense to me as a parent.  How is this determined?  Do you see an extra $9 in your paycheck? Starbucks gift card?

So many questions and it seems beyond insulting. I’m so sorry.  [/quote]
