[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to pp: i have two nights a year where i have to stay until 7 for parent teacher conferences-one in the fall and one in the spring. beyond that, every day i get off at 2:50. we don't have after school programs at our site and i don't have other obligations outside of school hours. i do get free health care-my employee contribution is $0 per paycheck, biweekly for twelve months a year. i do not grade papers, as i teach special ed and most of my students do not write, much less write a full length paper. i have general curriculum guidelines (ex. april is national poetry month, earth day is coming up) but i have no other lesson plan obligations. the administration is not allowed to rote collect lesson plans or require you to post them, per union rules. they are for your own use.[/quote]

I have worked in the school system and what you are describing is not realistic for an actual teacher. You sound more like a paraeducator/teacher assistant or you are not teaching in this area (DMV). I know for a fact teachers contractually have to stay after school for at least 3-4 school events (ie Back to School night) and parents can request conferences whenever they want. No teacher or Para gets free healthcare, they have a portion taken from their paycheck along with taxes and union dues. And what you are describing as curriculum guidelines have nothing to do with curriculum. Those are fun events a classroom can either choose to participate in or not. Actual curriculum means meeting the very specific goals the county has set forth for learning development. [/quote]
