Review my last three posts where I they are there for teacher negotiations. They help teachers and administrations so they can teach not negotiate with school boards.


Again most schools have been in session 4 weeks so you are covered for one week but that does not explain your many hours online the other three weeks. No I do not hang with 14 year old girls. That is quite an implication. I do overhear their immaturity and when I reviewed your posts to see what you had to say about education most of what i saw was the same type of pettiness. Anyway like I said I think your daytime routine will change.

I am not advocating unions to you but I am calling you on your use of school time. You can distort it off topic anyway you like. I have answered your question. If you are comfortable posting 30 posts per school day thats your problem(and your students problem)

I am finished on this thread.I have stated what unions do and that there are good and bad teachers. I do not thnk unions are the only way to go and am open to other solutions. I would have never read all your silly posts if you had not gotten my attention with your "most teachers" bullshit.

Never meant it that you were doing anything wrong, maybe it came out wrong. You were teaching 13-14 year olds and that is how you are around them is what I meant. I wouldn't accuse anyone of what you are thinking. i apologize if you took it that way, it was not meant to be, just miscommunication.

My daytime routine will stay the same because like I said, I don't have class for atleast two hours a day. The only time I get those hours taken away is if we are out of subs or if I just cover for someone for a while.

Take this anyway you want, but I really want you to find out how your school's SS classes are run. Like I said, they are lucky if it is not the standard worksheet/video. I think it is more the norm than what you might think. And I don't think it serves anyone.

I will agree that I was exagerating when I said most teachers. But I think the consistently least covered or cared about topic is social studies, and while I will agree that it is maybe the least important of the four core subjects for students to reach goals (ie good job/career). I think that many of the SS teachers I have worked with simply use time killing activities that do not encourage any of the students to actually think, just recite.

On unions, I don't have a problem with the unions other than solely protecting the teacher. I suppose that since it is the teachers who pay the dues that it makes sense. I don't have a problem with the unions not helping the studetns specifically, as long as they are not hurting them with their policies or agenda either. If there was a way to make the teachers unions non-political it would be better, but I don't think that is possible.

I was under the impression the topic was school vouchers.
