[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]First of all, we are all doing that. There’s one teacher on here saying she doesn’t, and, God bless her, I don’t know how it’s humanly possible to complete the functions of her job. Second, there are people on here comparing working outside hours in their professional jobs to those of educators. Nope. Don’t do it. You don’t even come close. Lastly, while I do, indeed, cover the dining room table, sit in bed with the laptop, and work constantly- I think you are disgusting to EXPECT that. My kids are important, too. [b]Summer is usually when I make it all up to them. Except last summer, because I was learning how to turn all of this fabulous textbook information you speak of into a virtual platform.[/b] Some people. I really just can’t believe that- that you EXPECT it.[/quote]

I don't believe this.  Not one little bit.  You gave up your whole summer with your kids?  Ha.  You mean you spent a few hours here or there at most.

And yes, I am a disgusting person who expects teachers to do their jobs.  Some are efficient and can get it done in less time.  Some are inefficient or less experienced and end up working tons of extra hours.  It's like that in other jobs too.  Teachers ask to be treated like professionals, not hourly childcare workers.  Well, that comes with professional expectations, including that you get your job done.

Also- you’re clueless.  Teaching is so much more than “grading stacks of papers”.  It’’s just stupid, what you said. 
I basically learned a new job this summer.  So, I spent way more time working than I should have, because, as you so stated, I should spend all of my waking hours during the school year working.  You clearly don’t have the faintest idea how hard the vast majority of teachers are working.  Private school teachers don’t have a better work ethic.  That’s ridiculous.  It has nothing to do with being inexperienced or inefficient.  It’s because I care about what I do, but I definitely resent that for people like you, it will never be enough.  Two teachers took a personal day.  So what?! Go f yourself and the horse you rode in on.[/quote][/quote]
