[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason it’s like this is bc teachers want to get their classroom cleaned/packed up before the kids leave. They need the kids to help or to at least be calm/quiet so they can do all the last minute end of the year crap admin has them doing. If they literally taught until the last day, they’d be there for days after the kids leave cleaning/packing up the room. And that’s not in their contract. Please cut them some slack. [/quote]

There are teacher work days on the schedule for after the last day of school....is this not what those are for?[/quote]

It takes more one day to get your room packed up and cleaned. It’s a hell of a job. You are required to also do a check out time with an admin where they have to check you out and do a walk through. Sometimes your room might be used for summer school. You are required to pack a certain way so no one steals your things. It’s a lot of manual labor. One of those things you don’t realize until you are actually a teacher. [/quote]

I can't with this. Put in a few extra hours like literally anyone with a real job does. [/quote]

Are you required to pack up and physically move the contents of your office to another office? I do this every few years. I could do it in my 20s and 30s but not in my 50s. Thankfully my son helps me every time. He’s been helping me move classrooms and sometimes from buildings to mods and back again since he was 7. He still can’t believe that teachers have to do this.

Be careful with your comments. Know you audience. A lot on here are federal workers that were given notice and their “packing up” was to be unemployed. In private companies when people are let go they are walked out of building same day with no time to “pack.” [/quote]

There are now 9 vacancies at my school for next year. Laid off federal workers would be welcome to apply and would be definitely hired. Apparently there is no prior experience required to teach so come one, come all. [/quote]
