re: teachers working hours. Just want to point out the my kid can email her homeroom teacher a question about homework, after school hours, and usually get an answer within an hour. That's in grade 6.
I honestly think that teachers constantly live under this threat of cutbacks, no pay raises etc. For some reason the govt. always wants to keep them on edge.
My wife is a teachers aid, and getting to know a lot of teachers, I think they are underpaid, but most of them are doing it for the profession they are in. They want to help your kids succeed. Like a nurse, that is their calling in life. Pay is one thing, but living under the threat of having your job cut, and having overcapacity class sizes is something else.
