You can throw that out the window.
Most of the time, Charles County juts gives students off. Employees still have to work. It's all about student safety. Most of the employees are "experienced" enough to drive safely in several inches of snow. It usually takes a cold day in hell for us to get off.

Ya know...
I really just had to add...(since we're still somewhat debating this..)
How about the hours spent tutoring your little ones? These teachers definitely do NOT get paid any extra to stay after school to help kids prepare for things like quizzes, tests, Midterms, finals, ect....some science teachers have even stayed after to allow kids to make up experiments (know from personal experience.)
It is hard to believe that people can STILL manage to try low-balling the time teachers spend working. Its sad to think that a lot of these teachers, the good ones at least, dedicate their lives to helping your children learn and you still manage to show them no respect when they deserve more than a LOT of professions out there.

Don't know about Canada, but here in the USofA, a Salaried workers wage is based on : 40 hours a week * 52 weeks = 2080 hours. Still more than the 1900 hours reported in your report. If you use the same standard for Average Joe employee (47 hour work week, which isnt unheard of) then Average Joe employee works 2444 hours a year. All things being relative teachers still start out having to work lessjust a thought...
Alberta Teachers' Association - In the News - Teachers to be surveyed on hours worked
And that was over 10 years ago when there were far less students to grade for/teach than now :shrug:

That's very interesting . If I work a 40 hour week, get 10 paid holidays a year and take two weeks vacation, I'm working 1,920 hours.just a thought...

That would mean you don't get a single week (or day) off per year...
I don't think that many people fall under THOSE terms of employment...

Yes. But most people get paid when they work at home. I always added it in my hours. :shrug:
And?they still have chit to get done whether they come in to the building or not
Scenario time :
DC gets smow
Schools close because of Smow
Teacher gets days off, does not take vacation/sick time, MAYwork from home
Average Joe employee is also off, Has to take Vacation time, MAY work from home
notice the difference?
