[quote=Anonymous]I have a position where I'm teaching most of the time, but I also have other responsibilities that no one in my building has.  Those duties are pretty time consuming, and yet I carry a full teaching load.  There are other responsibilities like chaperoning certain after school events, or working carpool line, that are specified in the job description of every teacher in the building, except for me and one or two other people who also have additional responsibilities.  In my case, and I assume their case, they were specifically removed to make room for the other things.  I don't get paid for the extra responsibilities, but I do get some time back to do them because those responsibilities are removed.

So yes, if someone asks me "why don't you chaperone sporting events?" or "can I put you down for carpool on Tuesdays and Thursdays", then I'll say "those things aren't in my job description".  On the other hand, if someone who I know I can count on calls me and says "The baby is throwing up and I'm not making it in, can you cover carpool for me?" or my boss says "I'm desperate for people to chaperone the soccer game." Then I'll say yes, because I'm a team player, but that's different. [/quote]
