[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Admin also try to get double overtime out of teachers without paying them.  I remember I was pushed and worked 70-80 hrs per week grading and subbing nonstop.  I was a good employee and did as I was told and wrote in 40 hrs per week on my time sheet.  I was non renewed.  Teachers in the US are simply not valued in the money making complex we call education.[/quote]

It is not sustainable. Admin, parents, and students all make demands. Plan, teach, grade, answer student emails, answer parent emails, deal with behaviors, report on progress for special education students, provide extra time for a test, reteach because of student absence, rework a lesson to cater to the needs of a student with a disability, give up lunch to meet with students, etc. Take care of your mental health, they say as they pile on another training, invent another monitoring tool, mandate participation on a committee, and participation in a professional learning community. INSANE! There are simply not enough hours in the day and at times, I have to tell myself, I am here to teach. I will work with the student and the rest must wait. No other profession that I am aware of is abused as much.[/quote]
