I've been reading your blog since the beg...Hi! I've been reading your blog since the beginning but haven't been able to comment until now. I teach fourth grade at a private school, and I believe these issues of unrecognized time and effort are a huge part of the private school world, too. Friends at public school confirm that I have a bit more prep time than they do, but that doesn't mean I didn't take a couple of hours during my vacation in New York City to plan a science unit for next year. In fact, my summer schedule looks a lot like yours, with a thick stack of reading and planning. <br /><br />Have you given any thought to talking about personal money spent on classroom materials? I know that besides giving a lot of time into our jobs, we teachers are also notorious for putting their own money into classrooms and supplies. Imagine a doctor buying a Advil out of pocket for her patients. . .<br /><br />Keep up the good work,<br />Maria <br />http://schooled-essays.blogspot.com/<br />http://mshoward.edublogs.org/Ms. Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923043626837016471noreply@blogger.com
