[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School is not over, the pack up shot should take place after school ends. Why does it seem like they are rushing to pack in the learning all year but then the last week is thrown away? That said, I would have no problem with it if the kids were outside or playing educational board or computer games but movies????[/quote]
why can't teachers pack up after the students are no longer in the building?[/quote]
I agree--that's what I meant to say[/quote]
Because they aren't getting paid after that. Duh.  Many of them have summer jobs, also, meaning you don't have extra days to come in to work to clean up.  My son's last 3 teachers all taught summer school.  [/quote]
I don't get paid for coming in on the occasional weekend or staying late on a weeknight.  But I just do it because it is what it takes to get the job done.  The work culture in DC is lacking.[/quote]

Have you actually read this entire thread? A PP posted about not having access to the building to get the job done once school ends. I'm not a fan of movies in school and I agree that a week or two of movies is egregious, but the teachers posting here have some very real challenges and berating and blaming them for a system they don't control is the very definition of unproductive.

If we want learning to happen until the last day of school, we need to support teachers in their quest for more time to get their administrative work done. Paid time and access to their classrooms to pack up after the students leave would be a good place to start.[/quote]
