[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it really your personal time? I don’t think teachers workday is done at the ringing of the last bell. [/quote]

Oh yes it is. My contract hours end at 4:15 and I am DONE. Teachers who work hours after that for free are why we get paid crap. Of course they won’t raise our pay when martyrs will do it for free. [b] I love my job but I am not a 24/7 employee and your kid’s essay is not more important than me spending time with my own children.[/b] When the bell rings, I’m off just like anyone else. [/quote]

This totally.  I have heard administrators say that teaching is a calling like the ministry.  Well no.  Think about how many teachers are needed to fill our schools.  Is it really reasonable to expect to be able to fill these jobs entirely with people who really want to devote their entire lives to it?  I'm like you.  I truly love kids and care about them, or else I wouldn't have become a teacher.  But ultimately it is "gasp" a job.  I want to have a normal workload and live my life like everyone else.  [/quote]
