The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 07, 2021

And months with less days. And years with less months. No, they already have this.

With kids like you, I’m sure they’d like 5-minute hours.

60 minutes times 7 or 8 depending on the school and then you have the off hours when they have to grade tests teachers deserve way better then how they are treated.

It sort of amounts to the same thing, no?

You mean I worked my entire adult life with hours that were 60 minutes long? What a ripoff!

Chip off the old block-HEAD! ;D

Outcome based education…

Tell the teachers since the ‘h’ is silent you can shorten it down to ours in the negotiations and, legally in the taped recording, nobody would know the difference.

None of my teacher friends work the hours the contract says. They have more homework than the kids do. It’s about “not having”: They would appreciate not having to spend their own money for supplies, not having to talk to idiot parents who want to know what’s wrong with her, giving poor Johnny an F, not having to slow her class because some privileged idiot parents don’t think it’s important for their kids to do the work….

Maybe the high school teacher should teach elementary school. Then, at least, they’d have shorter students.

huh, a smaller sixty minutes… well, I doubt shrinking the numbers are gonna do much cause an hour is an hour no matter how big or small it is. unless they want it hard to see the numbers…

It feels as if I were reading a Norman Drabble’s line … :D

They way it’s been lately, they need bodyguards, too.

I work with some people who put in about 40 minutes per given hour, but still expect 60 minutes per hour of pay.

Smaller class size or higher pay would be a more likely demand made by teachers.

Obviously there is more work to be done with some of the students.

The average employee actually works for about one hour a day. Not any specific job, but the study, and I can’t cite it because it was years ago, covered many jobs. I doubt that hour included work-related things like going to get supplies, or maybe using a printer. I don’t remember.

I see logic from the boy on this one based on what dad said. There is hope for him after all in the long run!

Unionism at work!

I actually campaigned for longer days… I wanted them to go to 4-10hour days per week with a 3 day weekend. (Sat. Sun. Mon.) everyone knows Mondays are worthless. ;-)

Precisely…….

All those teachers failed math…

Cue a big sigh from Brutus.

One thing sure, Wilberforce’s teachers have their work cut out for them.

So his question shows he needs more school instead of less.

Correction: Fewer hours.

Smoke smoke smoke dem cigarettes … coffee breaks – oops bathroom again… shoot the breeze 10 mins each hour, surf the net – sports, check cell phone each 15 minutes… 4 or 5 BS calls each morn and afternoon. Lunch hour. work 8 – 5. Net work time 3 hrs 45 mins. 18.45 hours work week for 40 hour pay? 4,000 week = 210 dollars an hour for actual work time. You deserve a raise. You worked hard.

Did you hear about the honey bees that went on strike? Their demands: shorter flowers and more honey!

The New Math.

That would require finding a habitable planet with shorter days.

Teachers couldn’t do their jobs if they worked fewer hours. What they really should be demanding is getting paid for all the hours they work.
