DEL.ICIO.USHow do you handle your work schedule?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I was talking to my daughter the other day about the real world. You know, the one you enter after college, when you get your first taste of reality.
There are bills to pay, groceries to buy and of course you and only you can clean up that first apartment. But specifically, we were talking about the different work schedules people have.
Some work the regular ol’ 9-5 and that works just fine for them. Others prefer that afternoon shift of something like 3 -11. Then there are those graveyard workers who exist just fine while working through the night. While we talked about the pros and cons of actual work shifts, we also talked about the different of schedules, specifically the kind most teachers have.
They get a few days and weeks off scattered through the year, but then…there’s the big one. They get nearly three months off for the summer. My daughter said while it sounds great, it’s not something she would want. She prefers to stay busy. I think it helps keep her motivated. I’ve never been a teacher, but I would think for as hard as they work, that summer-break is really well deserved.
But it must be hard to gear-up for school after being away from work for that period of time. If I could have a summer off, I think I would take it. What about you? Do you work better with a schedule where you determine your own holidays or does a giant clump of time off from work sound good to you?

Where is the outrage at the totally dispicable actions of the Fayette school board? Did they offer to give their salaries back? Did the superintendent offer to give his back? Did any members of the bloated central office staff make the offer?
No, they all, every one of them, decided to scapegoat the teacher. Now teachers are going to have to go on the record as to whether or not they want to give their contractually obligated money back? Is Fayette going to protect teachers who choose to keep their hard earned money, or will they try to retaliate against them?
Given what the board just tried to do, how can any teacher trust filling out that survey honestly?
