[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still find it crazy that teachers don’t consider personal gifts from students/parents to be an ethical violation.[/quote]

I'll trade it for overtime pay that other public servants get.

We work way more than 40 hrs a week, folks...[/quote]

Fed here. I also work more than 40 hours a week, especially during our busy season. We do not get overtime or comp time. Our management would tell us we should get the work done within our 40 hours and not to work late. You have to have overtime approved ahead of time. [/quote]

I'm sure your pay scale is much higher than MCPS.  [/quote]

NP, also a Fed, the GS pay scale is generally commensurate with education and experience.  Most teachers aren’t paid the same as a GS-13, but most teachers don’t have PhDs or masters degrees in hard sciences plus 15+ years of experience.  But, no, we don’t get overtime or comp time, even when we travel to academic conferences on weekends, are expected to work roughly 8am - 8pm while there, etc.  It’s just part of the work.

Overall, the teaching profession in affluent areas like MoCo is a mess.  The expectations of teachers are unreasonable, but OTOH, teachers are paid well for their 10 month contracts and many still demonstrate completely unprofessional behavior, e.g., excessive social media posting about how they’re not “cheap childcare,” etc.  The professionals I know don’t act like that.[/quote]
