Those Lazy Teachers

Despite the fact that teachers in SFUSD are not due at work until a week from Wednesday, three-quarters of the classroom teachers at my site spent today getting ready for the next year.

About half came in last week, too; most are planning to work every day this week.

As always, these hours are uncompensated and not included in labor statistics or considered by:

• hedge fund managers with an interest in education reform on their way to the Hamptons, Art Basel or similar;
• leaders of education reform groups, waiting in line to deposit their $50,000 honoraria, and
• media pundits, enjoying snacks in the green room before makeup.
