[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher Wednesdays are often my most exhausting.   Grading, calling parents, lesson planning, meetings, helping students.  Just constant grunt work.

Those of you thinking Wednesdays are a day off, have no idea.[/quote]

Didn't you have to do all that during in-person school also?[/quote]

The amount of "grunt work" has increased significantly.  In the past you could have a quick conversation with a parent during dismissal, now it has to be a phone call or an email.  You could chat with co-workers while making photo copies or walking students to recess and now that has to be a scheduled meeting.  Wednesdays are crazy busy and telling teachers to set up their class room on Wednesdays would mean something has to give.[/quote]

I have not received one email or phone call from a teacher or vice versa.  I have 5 kids and only the high schooler does homework on Wed

Just stop complaining already.  I mean really.  It is embarrassing [/quote]

I'm sorry to hear that your children's teachers haven't reached out more.  At the elementary level, I've been in touch with the families every other week or so, but it might vary from school to school and from elementary to middle to high.[/quote]
