for all the teachers?

Question

do u get paid for grading papers and preparing lesson plans at home, or do u just have to do it for free?

since u do all that work at home, do u get paid for spending extra hours on it?

Answer 1

We don't get paid by the hour. We get paid by the school year. If we don't manage to get everything done in our 42 min. preparation time at school, we have to do it at home 'for free'.

Answer 2

It is a part of our jobs. We must have it done, but nothing says that we have to do it at home or on campus. Some teachers manage to finish a majority of grading at school....while others find it necessary to bring it home. We do not get paid any extra for anything we do at home if it is a part of our contract. However, some teachers earn extra money...known as a stipend...for doing extra work for the school. I earn a small stipend for working on the yearbook and newspaper while at home.

Answer 3

definitely you do not get paid for working at home...and in your first few years there is a lot of work that you can not possibly get done in the school day. I have 2 conference periods a day and I almost always bring work home. Usually my conference period is spent waiting for the one (yes, one!) photocopier that all 100 teachers have to share for 1200 students. (ok, admittedly this is a bit of a sore spot with me but I hate wasting time)

You will also have to spend time during the summer and your breaks taking workshops to keep your teaching certificate. My course were all paid for this summer but I spent 8 days taking them over the summer.

Answer 4

teachers don't get paid extra for working at home.. it's considered part of the job though, so teachers are expected to do it.. they don't get paid more for working at home though.. a teacher who comes home and works on grading for five hours every night makes the same as a teacher who never brings any work home..

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

That's a good one! Teachers getting paid for all the hours they spend outside of the classroom!! HA HA HA

That's almost as good as someone thinking that teachers should be paid more because they have a Master's degree, but are still required to spend up to $5000 every 5 years to take classes so they can renew their teaching licenses!! HA HA HA HA

And its almost as good as thinking that teachers should be reimbursed for all of their own money they spend to make sure that the kids in their classes have supplies to work with!!!

You don't go into teaching for the money. You go into teaching because you want to help the kids and make a difference in their lives. We are not rewarded financially for our efforts. We are the most underpaid group with advanced degrees.

Answer 6

In my school system, we're paid for 421 minutes per day. If our work is not completed during that time (and it usually isn't), we're on our own. The only way to get extra pay is to take on an extracurricular activity, or take an extra class on overtime.

Answer 7

No! you sure don't..... some teachers grade papers in class with the class.... that is the smart way. and you plan during planning period, for a week at a time, so you don't waste time at home.... we have lives and families too.!!!!

Answer 8

no. you are contracted for a set amount of days and a set amount of hours worked during each day. grading and planning are considered part of the job description and structured into the teaching day.

Answer 9

my friend is a first year teacher. nope. it's all included in the good for nothing salary. my mom is a teacher as well...same thing....part of the salary. =( for all the prep work, that's really sad.

Answer 10

It's part of your teaching job
