"Teacher Appreciation Week Turns Sour for Educators. A shocking revelation has emerged from a school where administrators have announced plans to cover 2 hours of classes for every grade during Teacher Appreciation Week, touted as a "relaxation experience" for teachers. However, in a move that has left many educators feeling unappreciated, the same courtesy will not be extended to the very teachers who will be sacrificing their own class time to make it happen. According to one frustrated teacher, this means that they will only receive 2 hours of coverage from administrators, while they will be giving up over 10 hours of their own time to cover classes for their colleagues - all in the name of Teacher Appreciation Week."
Our principal informed the art, PE, library, band, and choir teachers that we will be covering 2 hours of classes for EVERY grade during teacher appreciation week for a “relaxation experience.” Doing the math quickly, I asked if we would get the same time we’re covering covered for us. We will only get 2 hours covered as well by admin, but what about the 10+ hours of time we will spend covering classes for other teachers and our schedules being thrown out of whack? On teacher appreciation week. It’s vile. submitted by /u/Artistmusiciangarden [link] [comments]
