[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dcps teacher here.  I could never work to the clock.  My allegiance is to the kids,  not dcps and that means doing what's right for them.  Not looking for any pats on the back..I just don't know how people do it.  I envy the teachers who manage to get out of the building at 3;30. Can't for the life of me figure out how they do it and manage to get their work done. [/quote]

I'm a DCPS teacher and I leave at 330 everyday. I also get to work at 7:30, work through my lunch and prep time. I will work my butt off for my kids till 3:30. But I have small children at home and I refuse to neglect my own children because of my job. I work on the weekends during nap time and will work after my kids go to bed at night. But from 3:30-8:30 I am 100% mom and I'm sorry if people think I'm a bad teacher because of it.   BTW, I get stellar observation scores before someone tries to say otherwise. [/quote]

I'm glad you do it that way.  For years now I've wished DH would put our kids before  the kids at work.[/quote]

PP here adding that dh's students might miss a regular field trip opportunity this year because I need surgery and will need him here.  The trip has them gone a few days and it may turn out to be bad timing.  I'm sure he will try various ways of being on that trip instead of here, where he needs to be.  [/quote]
