re: Suspending teacher's salaries

Teachers are 9 month employees. They just have their pay spread out over 12 months, so to protect the school systems from owing them any unemployment benefits for 3 months every year.
Everyone believes they get 3 months off during the summer with pay, well they do but they've already worked for that pay.
So they've pretty much worked 8 of their 9 months already this year.

Tax dollars are already spent on this so it doesn’t matter.
And this is the reasoning that got us a bridge between New Roads and St. Francisville.
Just because its tax money doesn't mean it shouldn't be spent responsibly.

Our school gave my children two weeks of busy work three weeks ago and I haven’t heard back reference new assignments. We tried to reach out to one of my daughter’s teachers for clarification on an assignment and she didn’t return the text or our voice mail. I don’t see where they are “working” any.
College students are now doing school work from online. My younger brother is a teacher. He told me he is teaching by doing stuff online and students need to go online to continue the class or take new classes online. I am not sure about high school.

This is a really dumb take. Of all govt employees you would go after teachers first? Wow.
Most government employees work 12 months out of the year

How is it idiot that teachers can't punish their students. Students can act up and disrupt the class with no punishment now that is idiot.
Also you can't disagree that teachers have to teach for the test, even the teachers here say that.
Hell if Parkland could have punished students there might not have been a school shooting. But I guess your liberal dumb arse also believe criminals should go free

That's not the teachers , it's the administrators and School Board.
They need to keep that gravy train coming , they are given money per student.
So they allow the trouble makers to stay in school instead of kicking their asses out.

This is pretty accurate. School accountability models require 95% attendance daily. To circumvent this as much as possible, we do everything possible to not suspend kids from school anymore. Also, schools don't want kids missing because they'll fall further behind in their state tested subjects. Again, NCLB really was a disaster.

Plus teachers get an early retirement. Probably the easiest and most time off for any job in america.

Teachers missed their annual summer break thread, so I guess they gotta bitch somewhere. Nurses are overtaking them in Facebook posts about their career, better catch up.

What these idiots don’t realize is that teachers have already down 95% of the work for their summer checks. They aren’t paid for the summer that money came out of the salary they earned during the year

I think any teachers that post to Facebook in support of the closure of schools should absolutely forfeit their salaries for the month of May.
What are you thinking as a professional educator when you say/admit that there is no point in going to school for the last few weeks of the year?
You really cant educate these children at all in that time?
If you really believe it's for the safety of the kids, I disagree with you about the level of tolerance for risk we normally carry vs what this would entail, but I understand that position.
If you agree with the closure just because May is always a wasted month, then you deserve a pay cut, and public education funding in general should be cut if teachers aren't making use of that time.
