Not around here they wouldn't be. There are all kinds of things happening in the middle and high schools before school starts, tutorials, band practices, dance practice, sports practices etc. Many days it is probably more busy in the 1-2 hours before school than in the 1-2 hours after school.

DD just finished her sophomore year. She was able to take tutorials both before and after school. Teacher availability has never been an issue.

ha! One of the reasons why I've delayed getting an iPhone is that, realistically, just how much time DO I need access to the internet. I've got good access at work and at home. Surely, I can manage to wean myself off teh interwebz for my commute to/from?? (Also I worry I'd miss my stop on the Metro--it's why I had to stop playing my handheld Monopoly video game during my commute ;)

I have the same question. Volunteering is important to me and I find ways to do it AND work.

Agreed. And although I've recently had to give up fostering for Siamese Rescue, it had nothng whatsoever to do with my job and everything to do with the safety of one of my resident cats, who had a really bad reaction to anesthesia in April. Because of that issue, he's no longer as mobile and sure-footed as he used to be, hence no longer reliably able to escape a stressed out foster cat who might escape the foster room and come after him. The change in that cat has sufficiently unnerved my other two cats that they were also no longer able to deal with the added stress of a foster cat in the house, even one in seclusion, so I had to give up fostering. But it had nothing whatsoever to do with my work status.

And I still volunteer with Siamese Rescue, just no longer as a foster. We still have sewing bees every month and you know I'd never miss an opportunity to drag out the sewing machines :)

The teacher in the EGD3 scenario who invoked her "contractual rights."

It most certainly is refusing to speak with someone during work hours, during the hours EGD3 and other taxpayers were paying the teacher.

I thought the teacher said that she would speak with Egd, though - during her contractual hours. She was refusing to EVER speak with her? I missed that.

Those would be the teacher's contractual hours. The teacher was refusing to speak with Egd during contractual hours? Or was she merely refusing to be at beck and call during those hours? Nobody in corporate America is ever during a meeting when a client calls?
