As a parent, I can't say this doesn't excite me a bit. :lol:

Also, there is no way they pay them enough. At all.

I wish Calvert would do that. Teachers would be so behind in grading stuff they would put Z's in for grades until they got around to grading them. It would tank the over-all grade. Can't tell you how many times I had to email teachers asking them to fix it before report cards came out.

St. Mary’s teachers aren’t the first to try something like this. Last year, teachers in Fairfax County vowed to end many of their extracurricular activities unless they received pay raises.

How did it work out for Fairfax County?

Sorry but.... I have ZERO sympathy for teachers around here. Summer off, 1 or 2 days a month for lesson planning, teacher in-services, etc... etc....

My father was a teacher for 30 years and barely got pay raises and NEVER took it out on the children. PLUS..... he never got these days off during the month for "planning"

Sure... he made lesson plans and had time to form a teaching agenda for the next term.... IT WAS CALLED SUMMER!!! You know.... when he got PAID but was not at the school everyday!

As for the "too much work when not in school" all I have to say is..... WELCOME TO THE REST OF THE WORKING WORLD!!!

Well that might be okay if they got paid a salary that reflected what you seem to think is required of their workload.

If the teachers refuse to do their job, fire them!

What about the children, think of the children.:jameo:

I don’t care if they don’t hand out homework, my little one will still be doing homework, the stuff I assign him.

Now, fire those teachers that refuse to do their job and hire new ones, guess they haven’t looked at the job market lately, they should be thankful they have a freaking job in the first place. And if they don’t like the pay, they can find another job that pays more.

That's a great solution...then you'd be teaching your "little one" too.

I have to giggle at the people claiming no homework will "harm the kids' education" good riddance to most of that useless busy work anyway :shrug: If they didn't have to do so much stuff that parents ought to be doing or prepping for a multitude of tests, they could easily teach within the timeframe given and have room to go over homework while students read or do their work independently.

Average salary.... average.... for a St.Mary's county school teacher is ~$48K that seems on the low side to me as the geusstimated high side is ~$85K

Not too bad for only having to spend 2/3 of the work year in your office!

I'm not saying that teachers don't work hard. I'm sayinbg that WE ALL DO! Nobody is getting raises right now! Join the club!!

Sounds like a really stupid idea to me. You would think educated people could come up with a better idea to seek a pay raise than this.
Maybe they could boycott the Lotto or the casino's that are earning the money to pay their salaries. LOL.

Really, 2/3 of the year? Most teachers spend well beyond the regular 8 hour work day and breaks just keeping up with paperwork, administrative crap, etc. I know security guards that make more working for the federal government. Just sayin.

My questions would be:

1. What is their salary?
2. When was the last time they got a raise?
3. How much was the last raise?
