[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers - what's different now? What can we reach out to the superintendent about to help you?[/quote] Teaching has been invaded by constant streams of data and people in charge who come from a business background. Testing is constant now which means constant date for us to go over. That means tons of data meetings we never used to have. That means a lot less time for lesson prep and grading. Grading is an afterthought that needs to be done in your own time. How can you help? Demand to know how much planning time is taken up by meetings. It’s a lot! I shouldn’t have to call in sick just to get time to grade. Plenty of teachers do it. So if you wonder why your kids’ teachers are out sick a lot, this is one reason why. Also, they send us to a million unnecessary trainings too. In a business, a meeting is part of the job. In teaching, meetings take us away from the job. [/quote]
