[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks good to me.  But all those half days need to be made into full days.

There should never be a half day or professional day during the week.  Kids should be in school 5 days a week.

Meetings can be help after hours. [/quote]

Really? So you'd prefer to increase teacher salaries to account for weekend professional days?

The half days are there because teachers still need some professional time and they count as full school days.  And we have to jam all the days in before June 15.[/quote]

Teacherd have all summer to train and read.  It's time to start looking at teaching like other jobs. You get paid to work 2080 hours. 
Want the summer off, then train 1 Saturday a month.  It's not my problem. 
Half days are disruptive to kids and working families. [/quote]

Be a teacher for 180 + days then tell me what you think about having summers off to train and read. That's one profession that I feel is always overlooked and someone always has something to say that teachers shouldn't complain blah blah blah. Teachers deserve summers off to tell with kids these days. 
Also half days are disruptive for teachers with children as well especially if they work at different levels (high school vs. elementary school) their child. [/quote]

Teachers are full time employees. 180 days means they are working 640  hours less then most other full time employees.

They can work at night to grade and prepare.

Full time is 2080 hours.  They owe 2080 in 10 months in reality. [/quote]
