[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a lot of these parents are just angry they didn't become teachers for the sweet snow day benefits.[/quote]

Applications are open for next year. [/quote]

I love how you all think this is some clever gotcha instead of a tone deaf assumption that parents can't possibly have their own jobs that are important to the functioning of society. [/quote]

I'm not that poster, but a lot of the posts suggest that teachers have some easy-street gig.  Considering we live in a capitalist society where people can easily change jobs, if it was really such an easy-street job, they would be flooded with applications.  But they aren't.  Which suggests that there are other reason why people don't view it as a desirable job, despite the snow days -- either the pay/benefits, dealing with kids/parents/ the bureacracy, etc.  Personally, I don't think I could deal with being at work consistently by 8 a.m. each day -- that's my big reason for not applying for a teaching job.  My kids also say I would be bad at the discipline and kids would walk all over me, which might be true.

MCPS elementary school teacher here...
Our contract hours are 8:45 to 4:15
Just sayin! Maybe you should apply. [/quote]

That’s pretty sweet. Maybe I should switch to elementary school. I teach HS and have to leave my house at 7 am. And then I have to deal with kids in first period who are either late, half asleep or fully asleep. MCPS needs to fix HS start times because they ain’t working for kids. And we would need less 2h delays if kids were not having to wait for the bus at 6 or 6.30 am[/quote]
