Peak Trump.
Well one of them gets paid too much money for some supposed talent, disgraces the country every time they open their mouth, and hangs around with a lot of no good grifters and shady motherfuckers.
And you’ve outed yourself as a shithead! Congratulations, even though it’s probably not your first time.
Any idea how sick we are of hearing that one? ORIGINAL. Remember: I, and the vast majority of my colleagues, put in 20 extra hours a week. Or more. Prorate that ignorant non educator. Better yet, come into my room and take over for a week. You’ll be eaten alive. But you may learn something, including the limits of a…
Not really true. Teachers can have sometimes have the option of getting paid all year long, but then their paychecks are smaller. They’re only paid for 9 months worth of work.
They work a job that extends far beyond the hours they are actually in the classroom. Would you like to be paid for a 40 hr work week if you actually did 60 hrs of work?
That typically comes from having a 10 month contract’s pay spread out over 12 months, which happens to mean you get less per paycheck.
He gets something like 4 weeks vacation and sick time, etc. Except, when he calls out sick he doesn’t have to give someone else directions on how to do his job or worry about who might come in and do his job, if they are even qualified. He also doesn’t have to take work home, stay late unpaid for two open houses or do…
The unpaid overtime in education can be pretty nuts. In most white-collar jobs, if you were exempt and regularly working 65 hours a week I’d expect you to get paid a lot more, or at least be on the ladder to getting paid a lot more. In teaching it’s not like that - it’s pretty flat, not a lot of upward promotion…
That’s not at all how it works. They may get paychecks during the summer but their pay is only for the months school is in. They also do work during the summer. Teachers don’t have as much time off as you think. Most teachers I know work 10+ hour days when you add in lesson planning, grading, etc.
You’re not a nice person.
That’s GOTTA be one of the most common Ed misconceptions, isn’t it?😬
Nope. We can CHOOSE to get our 9 month pay stretched to 12 months. But every teacher has to do post-year reporting after that last paid day. One week. Then pre-year prep. Two weeks unpaid, minimum. And we’re all doing curriculum work and lesson planning over our unpaid vacation time. And now Trump thinks we should…
Do you think teachers spend their non-school-hours time lounging in the sun with tea and biscuits? That’s not how it works.
Oh honey. No we do not. We get paid for the time we are there. However, most district will let you stretch your paychecks out over the year so you are not caught short. 0
My teaching job, like most jobs, provides 3 weeks of paid vacation (Christmas and spring break). Most teachers are not paid for summer break, they simply have a portion of the salary owed to them put aside, then doled out during the summer months.
My 9.5 month paycheck gets stretched out over 12 months, which means that the school/district is earning (and keeping) interest on my money. Try to be informed before you spout off your mouth.
I’m following this story via a Facebook Friend* who teaches in WV. She just wants this all to be over so she can get back to teaching and make a livable wage doing it. She has students she worries over that she hasn’t seen in over a week.
