[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, they could choose to come in earlier like a responsible professional. [/quote]

I'm sure most will. But you can't force people to work before contract and lots of teachers are going to show up at 8. [/quote]

I guess You probably can’t force a teacher to grade papers or plan lessons after 330 PM either, but I think they would if they wanted to do well at their job.
Most salaried jobs have contract times, but you do what you need to do to get the job done. It’s called being a professional.

Frankly, I’m tired of giving 60 or 65 hours a week to my job.

There are threads all over DCUM with people from other professions saying they refuse to work outside hours. They won’t read emails after 5. They won’t attend a meeting scheduled at 8am. They expect to be adequately compensated for their time and they demand work/life balance.

But teachers? If they don’t give every waking moment to their job, they aren’t professional.

The call for martyrs is wearing thin. [/quote]
