[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a teacher.  Haven't left my desk for lunch in years.  Never have 1 hour, or anything close to it for lunch.  Rarely leave the office before 7:30 or 8pm.  Work weekends regularly.  Don't have summers off. Don't have a union negotiating my benefits.

Again, don't understand why teachers or other staff can't supervise kids during lunch or recess.

How wonderful for you. Please keep in mind though that sitting at one's quiet office desk during the day, is light years away from being in a classroom full of busy children. There really is zero comparison. Environment plays a huge role in the need for a break. Teachers aren't just sitting at their 'desks,' when they're with their students. Not the good ones anyway.[/quote]

Sitting at a quiet desk is a silly fantasy. I think both of you lack compassion for the other. I think everybody should get a lunch beak, but it is rare for many professions. I think teachers should get their lunch and their benefits and planning time. I just don't want tiger women watching my kids. Hire aides or at least set a standard for volunteers and fire the crazy ones.[/quote]
