Why do some teachers leave with the students when the bell r

by Shellie

Dec 16, 2013

I have been working in a rather large school for three years now. I worked in Colorado for many years before I came out here. I take pride in staying after school and yes contract time to grade papers and meet with parents. What bothers me is that my neighbor usually leaves almost when the bell rings. I have to give her credit that she usually stays until a few minutes until so called contract time. In my old school, most teachers stayed at least an hour to grade papers or enter grades. I don't see this here sometimes. Aren't we short changing our kids if we bail at checkout time? I thought we all understood that our job did not end when the bell rang before wr entered this profession!! I don't like to be into other people's business, but I do frown on teachers who bail early. I always thought for grading to matter, the kids had to see the results quickly !!

like work can only happen in THAT room? Many teachers go home to get their own children safely off a school bus, to their afterschool activities - and then put several hours in later that evening getting whatever work they need to get done.

Others come to school hours early and get their work done then.

As long as they are getting it done, their business when.

learned my lesson.... There are two sides of the fence, nothing wrong with either... Some teachers (and administrators) want to get everything done at school so when they leave, they are done.

Some teachers (and administrators) want to get everything done at school so when they leave, they are done. I use to envy teachers that would come and go to school carrying very little. Some teachers feel more productive at home grading, planning, etc. in their own space, on their own time, and in their own quiet. I have also been one of those teachers that stayed after the "quitting time." There were many, many, many days where my child was at day care for 10-11 hours. I will never get that time back. And the school that I put in the most hours let me go because I didn't "fit in." What a waste it all was.

jass Everyone of the teachers who feel as though they are special because they do not leave when the bells rings should read the article by the Mass. teacher who is now working in Finland and Arizona teachers especially should also understand that Finland's educational system is far better than our system.
