Contract negotiations/ schedules

Anonymous wrote:

"new thread please-- Contract negotiations as reported on the news...
Teachers are NOT trying to set their own schedules- which sounds like, hey I think I'll come in at 10 am. Teachers are trying to teach the classes they have taught for years ( ie 30 years in Kindergarten, but a spiteful principal could at various times placed that teacher in 5th grade-- doesnt benefit students!) Or when possible -when PD and preps are-- there are reasons for these things-- it isnt a whim! Union step up and clarify! "
