I worked 5 days a week, but I’ll be sure to work slightly less on your kids now.
Yep, I feel the same way. If the parents continue to insult us, they’ll definitely get less. I can happily give them what the “think” we work.

If they don’t offer a bonus/step increase they will lose a lot more teachers to neighboring districts.

OP, why don't you just ask your lawyer husband to make up the difference?

I don’t think the OP is a teacher, but is a parent who wants the workbooks posing as a teacher.
As far as platforms go, I’m curious to know how other ES teachers are using Schoology. We haven’t put anything up yet but parents are starting to ask if we are using it. They are fine once we explain where we are with it now, but some seem to be expecting daily assignments.

I’d rather have a proper step increase…

It's not all staff last year. It is all current staff, whether they were in FCPS or not.

I imagine there must be plenty of teachers that would also like the district to do its job and actually provide learning materials to save them way more than 1K's worth of time this year hunting and uploading and photo copying...

FCPS should at least provide the worksheets to the teachers so that teachers don’t have to search and copy random worksheets. The public school system in another state used to do that and as a parent I appreciated the high quality math and LA worksheets. I did not miss textbooks there.
