Is anyone else on the hook for teaching summer school this year or are you actually getting your full break?

How can you be "on the hook"? If someone's trying to force you to take a job you don't want, that's probably illegal.

Summer school for us is 100% voluntary, requires you to apply for a SS position and pays pretty well.

I worked summer school for a few years. Most of them failed. But the few that passed usually seemed to do so because their motivation had changed. Usually they'd missed graduation and wanted to graduate. Occasionally, they were behind on credit and wanted to catch up so they could graduate next June.

Ability hadn't changed. Just motivation.

Haven’t taught summer school in 12years!!!!!!!

When my own kids were young I never signed up. As they got older the extra money was nice. It really doesn’t bother me because I’m still in the getting up mode and go to work. I think it is harder going back in August because you have had a nice break. The pay really does average in nicely for retirement. That’s the only reason I have done it for years. It’s just 1/2 a day, four days a week. So that’s not bad.

Not doing it! It is exhausting mentally not to get a break! However, I am continuing my tutoring virtual job.I can enjoy my Summer and still work some hours!!!

I teach SS. Pretty good money and when my pension is figured at retirement it's based on the average of my three highest years salary. Summer school figures into that.

Probably my last summer school, because the district, in it's infinite wisdom, is going to stop using APEX. I don't do lessons in summer anymore, so this could be my last one, I'm thinking. I'll gross around 7K in four weeks. Still plenty of summer left!

They pushed back.

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year.

It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(

It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.
