In Mississippi teachers do not currently have "rights". In
Texas, they have passed laws giving teachers a duty-free
lunch, among other rights. It is time for a Teacher Rights
Bill in Mississippi to improve working conditions. Some
issues which should be addressed are:

1) Adequate uninterrupted planning time
2) Protection from non-instructional duties
3) Duty-free lunch period
4) Restroom breaks
5) The right to the removal of disruptive students
6) Adequate instructional materials

Some of you could add to this list. The legislature is
currently in session. If you are ready to see a change in
working conditions in Mississippi, I encourage you to contact
your legislator, also to contact a legislator who is a member
of the Education Committee. They need to hear our voices.
Without them, we will have nothing but the same. Below is a
link to the Mississippi Legislature with contact information:
