[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easy solution: move the teacher "admin days" from during the school year to the summer.

The reason the union opposes it is that it cuts into the teachers' (paid) summer vacation.[/quote]

Why is it good for all professional training to happen before the school year starts or after the school year ends?[/quote]

What's wrong with that? I"m in private industry, and just about all our professional conferences are in the summer since people are too busy the rest of the year. Just about all industries seem to work fine with people being trained once a year, so surely teachers can handle it also.

As for having time to input grades and so on, indeed teachers may have to work more than an 8-hour day on those days... just like we do in private industry during busy times of year.[/quote]

It was no issue for either teachers or parents untill Hogan's policy. Let's keep that in mind. [/quote]

So those newspaper articles talking about how the majority of parents wanted the start of school pushed back were imaginary? The working group that O'Malley set up and which recommended an after labor day start was a mass hallucination?![/quote]
