[quote=Anonymous][quote]I can only imagine that many of you are jealous of teachers.

What else could it be?

[b]While planning and grading take up HOURS of our personal lives, we are home with our kids. I may be grading during a dance session[/b], but I'm there with my daughter. And if my children go to camp, it's purely for enrichment to break up the summer months.

Although I can't do drop off, as my work hours start at 7 am, [b]I do pick up. I help with homework as I make dinner. And I'm at the pool with my children. [/b]
So complain all you want. Put us down. Continue to be condescending to the people who spend more hours with your children than YOU do. We'll continue to teach, knowing that we can be with OUR children and recognizing that oftentimes YOUR children think of us as their substitute parents.

Enjoy the summer as you watch it through your office window.[/quote]

I'm not sure what prompted this violin-like whine but I did not know teachers were the only persons in our country with kids for whom office work takes up HOURS of their personal lives.  Like our children, the rest of us adults, are really learning alot from MCPS teachers.  Keep up the superlative work.  You should go on strike since you have to prep for and bring work home.
