The sad fact is that it all starts in the home and that will never be addressed. Accountability the whole way around.
Wow you know some teacher’s with great work ethic. The few that I know bitch about their pay, sit on their ass all summer because ‘they don’t have any money’ or get a float loan from the Teacher’s Credit Union because ‘they have no income in the summer” (boo hoo) and ONLY go to classes when the union pays them to do so. Pretty nice job since it isn’t based one bit on performance.
>>Teacher contracts are based on around 190 day school year. Vast majority of teachers take classes all summer long to keep abreast of requirements to state improvements in education.<<
Are you saying that teachers do not work when they are out for the summer?? Do they pay for the classes to “keep abreast” during the summer out of their own pockets??
Thanks in advance for setting me stright with your reply.
