Poor time management. If they were doing more than 8 hours of work normally, the union would make sure they are paid.
For those of you with school age children...be patient....

So she does not put any extra time into lessons and or prep? Interesting
Teach 7 hours a day, then 2-3 hours of prep lessons, then 4-5 hours a week grading. 10 hours a day. That basic for most teachers. I would say 70-80% put in more time during the school year.
We are 7 days into school for our 3rd grader and I’m about to tell my wife to **** off and send him to school.
We both work and he’s been an absolute terror child for our nanny...just embarrassing levels of ass hole toward her.
Two nights in a row he’s been up way too late finishing shit because he hasn’t finished it during normal hours.
I was ready to whoop the shit out of him today after hearing about his behavior but he’s still (at this moment) working on e-learning bull shit that should’ve been done earlier.
This distance learning garbage didn’t work for the last 3 months of school last year, and it isn’t shaping up well here.
He isn’t learning shit, my wife is 8 years into never enforcing consequences, and now every day is just a soupy shit flavored sandwich.
Christ I hate my life sometimes.

it is PROVEN that children can fight off covid. This is some ****ing bullshit. Covid is just a bad flu. Cases are coming down. Let our children get back to learning. Life must go on. Only the media is fueling the flame. Luckily the media is focusing on riots now. Can't wait for a vaccine and Trump to win ....all this bullshit will go away.
also, we must realize, this is how our children SOCIALIZE. This is how our children learn human communication. You CAN'T cut out school and go directly to home schooling. Children NEED to socialize and interact with other children.
Union leaders are well aware of the fact that the job takes more time than the agreed upon contract hours. It's all part of the package when you sign up to be a teacher. It's just the way it is. What we lack in extra money for extra work we make up for with lengthy vacations. Look at it this way: If you have children you may have noticed that it takes way more time and effort to raise them properly than maybe you had first thought. But you don't care about the extra time and devotion it takes to do that. You don't care about the fact you are not getting money for it. You do it because you CARE. That's why many teachers do it. We treat your kids like they are our own.
I'm trying to get my head around what you posted. Is your son being home schooled by a nanny or is she a caregiver while he does distance learning with his school? And by the way I agree with you. The last three months of the previous school year none of the kids learned anything because most districts dictated that the kids not be given new material and instead be given review lessons for topics they had already learned. My third graders from last year never learned how to do fractions or weights and measures. They are sorely lacking in preparedness. This covid19 stuff is going to have lasting effects on our youth from an academic standpoint.
False equivalence and a dumb argument.
So an hourly brick layer should be paid when he packs his lunch at home, gathers his tools, loads his truck, and studies job engineering diagrams?

Speaking of a dumb statement. When did I ever say gathering things or making their lunch?
Go ahead teach a class without preparing. Just because an architect works at home does that mean he does not get paid?
Lmao never mind.

I gotta ask this.... how much preparing do you have to do for the same class you’ve taught for years? Shouldn’t you have to prepare once and then boom the prep work is done? I just don’t get it...
I mean I get prepping and researching a job, figuring it out take time. But once you’ve figured it out and got the procedure down it’s click click click done....?
I am not teacher bashing, but I think for the most part this is all they know. It feels like so much work because they have never had to do some other job that expects more.
I will say I could not put up with kids all day and I am not a good teacher. It does take the right kind of person but I do not think they are overworked either.
Who thinks a 6yr old should wear a mask for 8hrs a day? What the **** is wrong with people? If I wanted to get a bunch of kids sick I would make them wear a dirty mask all day everyday. That would prob do the trick!
The actual prep work for each lesson(suspplies and copies) about 15 minutes times 5 lessons a day, creating new examples for the students to follow can take as long as the lesson itself about 60-90 minutes. Generally you have about 3 of these to prepare each week. That’s if you’ve taught the same class for 3 plus years....
You are forgetting all the state and federal mandates about how individual learning plans for those designated as learning disabled have to be tracked and administered. There isn't enough space to list all the categories that encompasses.
last week i spoke to a lady who is in college to become a teacher. i dont know what subject, but anyways, i asked her if they were teaching her any distance learning techniques in case this happens again in the future. her answer was no, they aren't teaching prospective teachers how do adapt from in person learning to virtual learning..
They teach how to teach the use of technology and online safety but that is only one section of the studies.
Spot on! Every child is different, learns different, behaves differently. Teachers have to account for EVERY student. From the brightest to the one who acts like an absolute terror and in between.
I am shocked on how much ignorance is posted in this thread. Yes, there are some teachers who cruise by doing the bare minimum. However, if you love your job and actually put in effort in, it takes up A LOT of your time. My wife taught 4th grade at a Title 1 ELL school for 10 years before moving to a part-time (also a title 1 school) 3 years ago after our first kiddo was born so that she could spend more time with them. As a full timer before kids, she put in a MINIMUM of 60 hours a week between teaching, creating lesson plans, grading papers and that's not accounting for taking college courses to further herself on an already shitty pay scale. As a part time teacher, she puts in a minimum of 40 hours. And why does she do it? Because she loves teaching and knew exactly what she was getting into.
Now with COVID-19, whether you think it's BS or not, it's asking even MORE from teachers. They now have to learn an entirely new system and practically double their work because they have to not only focus on in-school students, but also focus on virtual students.
If you ask me, too many parents are failing to do their part in educating their kids because they believe it's solely up to the teacher to do that.
