[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every professional job has contracted hours (8am-5pm, 9-5, 8/30-4:30, etc). If an afternoon meeting runs late you don't demand to be compensated, as it is a salary-exempt position. How is teaching any different?[/quote] It is different because we get paid a lot less. We have parent teacher conferences next week after school. They are from 3:30-5:30. I have to pick up my child at daycare by 6:00 or I am charged by the minute. Maybe other professionals can afford to pay if they are 15 minutes late. I can't so I will be leaving at 5:30. If a parent walks in and expects me to stay past 5:30, I won't do it. I can't afford to. That is the difference.[/quote]
