[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think teachers are overworked. The actual work isn’t hard. What’s hard is unruly kids and I think as a society we need to have a larger discussion about what to do about them. There’s an unwillingness to have them in separate classrooms[/quote]

My work isn’t hard?

Please prepare and deliver 25 hours of presentations next week. (You will also be held responsible for the outcome of those presentations, so make sure your audience fully understands and can demonstrate that understanding.)

Please leave comments on 320 pages of AP essays. You’ll need to read them thoroughly, of course, but you’ll also have to leave feedback that is clear AND provides next-steps for the following essay. Make sure you track these comments so you can follow up on each individual one when you read the next 320 pages… in two weeks.

Please find time in your 30 available minutes each day to respond to 25-30 student / parent emails. You’ll likely have to eat your lunch at the same time.

Please remember to update 20-25 student IEP plans. The head of the SpEd department (and the law) require you to provide altered tests for some, oral instructions for others, and for two of them make sure you find time after school to read the entire test orally, transcribing student responses. You probably don’t have any of the altered tests ready, so find some time to get that done.

You have a new unit on Cold War fiction starting in two weeks. It’s been a while since you’ve covered that, so you better reread all of your novels and notes. It’s probably a good idea to look for some better criticism. What you used last year didn’t really help the students as much as you would have liked. Better yet… do that AND prepare a lesson demonstrating how students can find their own criticism.

Your correct. It’s an absolute walk in the park.
