We live in a society where people working from home buy mouse movers so they can take mid-day naps, but they get rewarded with bonuses annually. Meanwhile, teachers spend their own money on their students, work countless hours after school for no pay, and their only means of a “bonus” is taking and paying for additional classes to move up a salary scale … Seems pretty backwards to me 🤷🏽‍♀️

Teachers definitely get the short end of the stick in almost every aspect. You are not lying.

Teachers need to stop complaining and start doing something about it. When the bell rings, turn off the computer and walk out the door with the students. Whatever doesn’t get done during work hours doesn’t get done. No supplies? Send a note home explaining why there’s no supplies. This is a job, not a life.

Every one of those assignments needs to be in writing. Share the list with your union rep.

How long do teachers across the country have to complain about the same things before someone take heed. It's so discouraging to work so hard everyday and not feel an ounce of appreciation from society as a whole.

You’re absolutely right, NY

Be careful what you post of social media. I was attacked for my views about our calendar for next year, we get out Friday, right before Christmas Eve this year. Who does that????? We also go two weeks longer than any other district and we have a ton of half day Fridays, kids don't come for 25 minute classes.

From what I’ve scene the system is set up so that the school districts can show the states that somehow students are able to pass state mandated test levels. It’s a joke!

I try very hard to do work-to-rule. If anyone says anything about it I just tell them that there isn't enough time.

The thing is, if their job just wants to see their mouse moving to prove "worthiness" that's bs too. If there is productive work to be done, check to see if it got done. And if there isn't, it is absurd to see how much/often their mouse was moving.
