[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which other salaried professionals have “contract hours”?  Salaried professionals work until the work is done even if that means staying a couple hours later.  Even if that means taking work home.  If teachers want to work like hourly workers they should not expect to be treated like anything more.[/quote]

Interesting point. You seem to be implying that treating teachers like hourly workers would result in teachers being treated worse than they currently are. Would you care to elaborate on how you would do that? How exactly could you treat teachers worse than what they already deal with regularly? Pay them less than other similarly educated professionals? Treat them with less respect? Ignore their legitimate concerns and needs? Increase class sizes? Put pressure on them to differentiate to the needs of 20+ students in such a way that all students pass incredibly questionable testing goals? Insult them for daring to have any sort of life outside of their job? Constantly question their decisions, professionalism, or work ethic?[/quote]

Nurses. Physical therapists. Actual therapists. Pretty much any job involving direct services to people.

Hell, I am physician and when I work in the ER, I am paid an hourly rate and walk out the door and hand off my pager once my contracted hours ends. [/quote]

ER physicians often have to work outside of contracted hours to finish documentation.  What needs to be done, has to get done- paid or unpaid. [/quote]
