[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consider them flex days. They don’t owe you that time before / after. [/quote]

Don't they owe us the PTC days?  Wouldn't it be part of the contract?[/quote]

Teachers don’t owe you anything! There is this horrifying trend of trying to “catch teachers” not doing their job. This job is hard and every teacher I know, including myself, is busting their butt to get everything done. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t do work after putting my own children to bed. The demand from parents is constant, not to mention the added pressures of the pandemic.  [/quote]

Plenty of people are working weekends and after their kids are in bed. [/quote]

And there are plenty of people making more than teachers. Plenty of people who earn overtime. Plenty of teachers who work off the clock. And plenty of entitled folks who feel the need to micromanage everyone else’s job. Are you the same way with your dentist? Favorite cashier?  Doctor? Hairstylist? Do you try to dictate how they use their time off? What’s your point? No need to wonder why there’s a teacher shortage. [/quote]
