[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Problem is there is also zero instruction on these days. Teachers can stay after school for an hour to plan for the next day. I see teachers in and out the same 7 hours the kids are in school. Add 30m for lunch and you have 1.5hrs every day to plan. That’s 7.5hrs a week.[/quote]

I take home over 3 hours of work A NIGHT. When you see me leave shortly after the students, that’s so I can pick up my own child and take her to therapy. I work while she’s there. I then go home, make dinner, and work an extra 2-3 hours. This is 5 days a week. I then work a full day on Saturdays.

So just because I’m leaving doesn’t mean I’m not working. You’re getting PLENTY of hours out of me, more than my own children get.

Are you an elementary school teacher? I'm really curious about what it is that you're doing during this time at home - 3 hrs a night and all day Saturday? I'm not being mean or rude here, I truly want to know.[/quote]

Are you serious or are you a troll?  I’m a different elementary teacher and have to put in lots of extra hours to prepare all the lessons for my classes.  I work on things in the evenings and on weekends (and sometimes early mornings) because there is no time during the school day as I am teaching a roomful of kids with a variety of needs.  It takes a lot of time, energy, creativity, stamina, and patience to be a teacher.

yes... this is why ES can't keep teachers-we don't get the planning time the MS and HS teachers get. The job is not doable without the prep and planning. There are days ES teachers barely get to eat lunch~ it's all encompassing and now with all the funding being cut from schools it will get worse.[/quote]
