[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't teachers have 2 months this summer to drum up a plan for kids home sick?  Arguably, if a kid is sick, why should they do work?  They are sick.  Mark assignments as 100%, give missed math lesson sheets when they return so they can catch up. [/quote]

I'll drum up some plans if they paid me to but they didn't.[/quote]

Lots of government employees work OT unpaid.  Especially ones who have people relying on them for their welfare.  Like children relying on YOU for their education.  Don't be a clock watcher.[/quote]
That’s funny, we aren’t even allowed to move our cars on our prep periods. We can’t walk out the door thirty seconds before the official end of day, even if all the kids are gone. Our jobs have zero flexibility. We don’t get PTO, have to schedule doctor’s appointments on holidays, and are tasked with completing virtual meetings and trainings on site for no reason. Everyone knows that teachers work a ton of unpaid overtime. Everyone wants to watch the clock when it comes to teachers, but god forbid teachers draw boundaries or ask to be respected and paid for your time. [/quote]

Hmm, should all government workers tell their bosses they are "drawing boundaries" and refuse to perform?   :lol:  I'm sure that would go over well, like ice cream in hell.[/quote]
