"To address teacher fatigue"

What does that even mean?

Just reading the bulletin

RGGeemer

consider it "the market" correcting. teachers (among other jobs) are leaving -

BYJung

1/25/22 8:21pm

Can you imagine if jobs actually paid based on how undesirable and difficult?

Gunga Galunga

1/25/22 8:24pm

Teaching isn't a "market" profession.

UNLVcougar

1/25/22 8:31pm

And yet forces of supply and demand still are relevant and will influence

BYJung

1/25/22 8:36pm

It's a publicly funded profession. There will always be ceilings and floors that

UNLVcougar

1/25/22 8:46pm

are you saying that publicly funded jobs aren't subject to external forces that

BYJung

1/25/22 9:00pm

I'm saying if it is a market at all, it's one extremely hampered

UNLVcougar

1/25/22 9:17pm

I'd argue that administrative policies like this DO have impact on the labor

Nvm, dont feel like starting something

What is this supposed to accomplish?

Address teacher fatigue.

TANK

The only thing I can think of is it will give teachers time to make online

Charles Darwin

1/25/22 8:13pm

They don’t have enough staff to cover so teachers have been filling in for each

O Gaucho

1/25/22 8:16pm

That doesn’t really answer the question. What does an hour a day accomplish?

Graystation

1/25/22 8:18pm

It’s meant to alleviate teacher stress. But it really doesn’t do much.

Ted Lasso

1/25/22 8:21pm

Teachers will be more willing to sub during prep periods because they will have

Charles Darwin

1/25/22 8:22pm

Yes. They lose prep time when they cover. They are also paying more to cover.

Ted Lasso

1/25/22 8:22pm

To whoever thumbsed this down.. what’s wrong with you?

Adwight

1/25/22 9:12pm

And now the poor principal has to totally go revamp the entire school schedule

O Gaucho

1/25/22 9:19pm

And, handling the students out sick has been an extra burden. My wife teaches HS and said work-wise the last month has

My mom (retired educator) is subbing. She has basically been full time

Covid protocols..real sickness...and no subs for same reasons +pay

Right as I'm starting a fully remote position with a new company... Great 😒. Four stir crazy kids. It won't be easy.

germm

1/25/22 8:22pm

Maybe start work at 6 and be done by the time they get home at 2?

Charles Darwin

Unfortunately I have to work the same time as my clients

germm

Teacher fatigue is the latest buzz word. We have created a society of whiny

Taccoug

1/25/22 8:23pm

They also get paid next to nothing. Is a teachers wage even liveable anymore?

blackandblue

1/25/22 8:26pm

Not at my kids school according to the state website on public employee salaries

BYU'01

1/25/22 8:35pm

In my state those do not show the salary but total compensation including the

Charles Darwin

1/25/22 8:37pm

Same in Utah.

O Gaucho

1/25/22 8:38pm

That is incorrect. Transparent.Utah.gov shows salary & benefits separately.

BYU'01

1/25/22 8:51pm

I stand corrected. That is a much better site than the old Utahsright one they

O Gaucho

1/25/22 8:54pm

How much do they make?

ReyOso

1/25/22 8:37pm

Staring around 42K. Good luck living on that.

Ted Lasso

1/25/22 8:49pm

So a 22 year old directly out of school with a bachelors making 42k

rtNelson

1/25/22 9:03pm

Yep, no problems for a single person income.

Ted Lasso

1/25/22 9:09pm

Yeah, 3 kids and a house on 42k is hard. But that's the starting pay.

rtNelson

1/25/22 9:20pm

Unfortunately, the teachers Union doesn’t look out for younger teachers.

Charles Darwin

1/25/22 9:39pm

Most of my peers didn’t have 3 kids upon completing undergrad

BYU'01

1/25/22 9:54pm

My sons 1st grade teacher makes $89k salary + $52k benefits. 180 school days

BYU'01

1/25/22 8:57pm

That equals over 118k per year for a full 12 month job
