So all during FSA testing they pulled our teachers to test other grades. No subs were used, and instead they forced us to cover for these teachers. I was a “buddy” teacher the entire week and had a double load of students in my room. They did not pay me and said coverage does not get extra pay.
Is this legal?

In your contract it probably says something along the lines of "and perform other duties as specified by the district or principal." Fair? No. Legal? Yes.

Our contract specifies if we have to take on more students on a particular day for coverage, or if a regular class has more than a certain number of students, we get extra pay. I think it would all depend on your contract. I know ours pretty decently since I am a building rep.

As 1 of 2 SPED teachers at my school, we had to work together administering state tests to the kids with IEPs every day for 3 weeks straight. We knew we weren’t getting extra pay for that, but it made a huge negative impact on our ability to provide services for our students here at the end of the school year when they needed us the most.

So extra work.. extra risk, but no extra pay? Yeah I don’t think so

Same thing happens in Virginia each year. We can’t unionize and our contracts leave us at the mercy of our districts. We were required to do 80 hrs of PD between July 4th and Aug 2nd last year and could do nothing about it!!! Our contracts even basically said they would pay us if funds were available, if they weren’t our pay was subject to change. Some things are changing at the state level this year and we will have way more rights......and we haven’t seen contracts!!! We usually get them in February.

Good afternoon! I hope everyone felt appreciated this week and always! I am sharing this because I’m not sure what to think. The administration did some small things for us (soup and schmooze which i wish were soup and snooze LOL) but in a week which was very stressful for us with Ap exams coming up etc, we were asked to show our appreciation to each other via emails, or some special way. Nice thought, but we kinda do this every day…. Aren’t the students supposed to say thank you? 🤷‍♀️

The long weekend (what non-teacher’s call “summer vacation”) has only focused my furious resolve to constantly combat the neolithic conservative crosshairs on education. Public education is not a business; it is a cultural nurturing ground for young individuals and a long-term investment in society. Public education is not politics; we can tell the whole truth about historyPublic education is not an armed force; we are trying to eliminate the need for arms and the people who support them.

I'm seeing a lot of teachers post that one advantage of remote teaching is fewer disruptions. While this is true, I also notice less engagement. I have students who are clearly looking down and doing something else (probably texting on phone?). Now that I can't ban cell phones in class, what can I do?
