the extra work we put in
I agree that we put in untold hours and untold expense to a job that the district nor administrators do not realize or give us credit for. This extra work is really "expected" however. I believe that many administrators know that the good teachers will prepare e every night 2or 3 hours, will spend their own funds to buy things so that just the basic learning can be done. The administration knows teaching is a rewarding profession and desirable job and tkes full advantage of the fact that teachers will do extra because of the nature of the teacher and the job. Teachers have been doing extra for many eons to enhance learning. The administration does know that extra work is being done, extra expense of the teacher is being spent. Whether in each individual case this is the fact is another story. However, the profession has been doing this extra effort for centuries and is well knownby the admiistration. They count on this extra effort to save money among other things. Those teachers who do extra and enhance learning are often not the most highly rated teachers, but moderately rated. Stewart E Brekke
