>> The very idea that accepting a salary for a job with an 8-hour day obligates one to perform the duties of that job for the hours agreed on, plus any time someone asks it of you...that seems like an incredible burden. I would not consider that a job, I would consider that signing my life away. <<

That is exactly the impression I've been getting all along reading this exchange. I wonder if teachers are the only ones considered "obligated" to be available whenever to speak to whomever, or if the same is expected of other professions.

<-->paid, salaried positions and not hourly punch-the-clock type jobs. It's just the nature of this board.>>


Not from my observation.

Only about 1 week and a WOHP on this board finally acknowledges this.

i don't think entitlement is what's being argued.

what i've learned is different styles for different teachers.

I already established - and you supported this with your current work experience - that the blue collar jobs have a lot less flexibility to discuss concerns with a teacher - usually no desk, no phone, no computer - during teachers' hours.
