Let's put all teachers on the same "All Hours Worked" timekeeping system that the Department of Defense uses for their contractors and pay the teachers for the hours that they put-in as professionals.

At our school, we have to sign in. One year the board decided to make us sign out as well.

That lasted maybe 3 days, until someone pointed out to them that by law, if they made us sign in and out, they had to pay us for any overtime worked.

I'm fascinated. I used to teach school, and I was a salaried professional. I didn't have "hours." I worked what time was required to get my work done...regardless if it cut into my evenings or weekends.

Since when does a "salaried professional" have hours and overtime? And, just what were your "hours"?
