[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blame the teachers.  Business as usual.  Pay no mind for the fact that they need like 80 hours to do a proper job.  It's a churn and burn profession with no respect.  [/quote]

Exactly. I spent most of my weekend grading. My family was out enjoying the fall weather while I sat at my dining room table for two days.

My morale is in the basement and I’m extremely worried about my health, but my grades are up to date.[/quote]

Then, if something is going on quit or take a leave of absense.  [/quote]

I did quit.  The job is impossible to do.  It really is unsustainable.  [/quote]

I’m joining you. It really is impossible.

And the more you give, the more that’s expected of you. The entire system is built on teachers’ extra labor. And they know we’ll put in 5 extra hours on a Thursday and 8 on a Saturday because we have to.

Meanwhile, there’s a thread in the Jobs and Career section of this site about off-hour meetings, and it’s filled with people posting that they won’t work off hours without pay. And that idea is supported by others.

But we demand off-hours work of our teachers. Heck, teachers are “bad” and “hurting kids” if we don’t. [/quote]

Most jobs are not 8 hours a day.  Mine never has been and I often do paperwork and reports and notes in the evening and weekends although I get paid less by the county and worse benefits.  [/quote]
