[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I won’t speak for secondary but in the elementary, we have to meet with every single parent for 15-20 minutes with 25-29 students in our classes.  We offer evenings, early mornings, and those two half days.  Do the math. 20x25 is 500 minutes for 8.33 hours minimum and no one does the minimum.  Students leave 2.5 hours early on Monday and Tuesday and do not have recess taking away an additional 40 minutes of planning both days.

Complain all you want but unless parents no longer want a conference, elementary school teachers work a ton of overtime in November every single year and even after all the evenings we met with parents in the last two weeks, we will still be grading and planning this weekend.

Why are some people so insistent on blaming teachers around here? 90 percent of us are working like crazy to be the best possible teacher for your children. [/quote]

I’m not blaming teachers. I don’t know how all you heroes manage 25 kids plus every hour of the school day.   But I would rather that McPS cancels these two days and just uses them for PT conferences because my kid’s middle school has so few slots I couldn’t even get one for two of the core classes.[/quote]

Try problem-solving that by contacting your teachers for other times.[/quote]

That only works if they respond to their emails. What should I do? Stop by their homes?[/quote]
