LETTER OF A TEACHER IN A MORNING Montevideana 200 "SCHOOL DAYS?
IS ONLY one year with the calendar, they should do more, including our Basic Cycle President. courses run Monday to Saturday. Classes in 2011 ranging from 14 March to 5 December and the winter holidays are from 27 June to 9 July. Let's count together:
March: 16 days in April: 19 May: 25 June: 22 July: 17 August: 26 September: 20 (thinking in 6 days rental,
but are not posted on the calendar CES) October: November 25, December 25: 4 TOTAL: 199 days of school.
So why all the fuss to ensure 200 days of class, when what most worries the world is the CBC, which (if there is still a week off in September) and has 199? Do a legitimate interest in education, or just a move to have the press and - in passing, once again criticizing the teachers, noting that work a lot less than it actually work? I heard on radio comments along the lines of "y. .. today teachers work about 150 days ... they will hold your hair when have to go 200 ...", and that nonsense is staying in the consciousness of people as true, like "teacher shortage", "not updated", "will not work. I'm tired of being the goat atoning for all the social, cultural and organizational country. I do not miss (and I'm the only one). I do my work (and I'm not the only one). I recycle professionally (and I'm the only one). I care about my students (and I'm not the only one).
Need I go out to defend us, because the press and the general opinion will deal only put to all teachers in the same bag? Y. .. should begin .
WOULD ALSO ADD
The teachers do not charge you any license or holiday pay, severance pay do not have insurance or unemployment (when we can not complete the training unit), we have no possibility of overtime and charge more. When we started working on a system (secondary, primary or teacher training) we are not paid upon completion of the first month of work, sometimes it may take 3 or more months and get paid for special tasks (table contest, test application , issued
seminars or special programs, etc.) can take up to 3 mesesEstamos used to "collect then all together" and with them we moved to strip tax and discounts are sometimes sterile as having worked in a special task. The teachers had no right to DISSE ever and we were not giving aid to pay medical society, but when we got to pay us (after a long struggle), the joy lasted 2 years, we applied indiscriminately FONASA (is set to be discounted even in the lean FONASA ???!!). bonuses Teachers plan to correct and Saturdays and Sundays and that often causes family problems we and our children hate our profession. We come to work, running from one school to another, and we sat down to drink mate and watch
novel, read, update us, we buy books in installments (the state does not give us anything for it, when there are other item to buy newspapers to legislators!), pay for graduate courses and seminars to update it (there are few that the state and always provides us with requirements because there are few places).
Nobody pays for administrative correction or the hours or planning. A teacher gave us no notebooks as saying they went out there and we sold them for 400 U $ s (as promised Vázquez) means we had to buy over 800 or 900 U $ s. Teachers take exams and we never know when we finished, and we know when a meeting of teachers or parents (these activities are inherent in our task, so that no paid separately, clarified).
Teachers attend classes with an average rate of more than 35 students (the teacher's book provides up to 60 students) from all social backgrounds and many of them with psychological and cultural issues very serious, and possibly attend them one by one (not just knowing their name.) Teachers integrate tables of national and local elections on Sunday of choice because we are quoted and if there is no census, we are first mentioned. Just a few years ago began to pay for these activities before they were mandatory without pay and with the benefit of take us 3 to 5 days off without affecting the system, ie on holiday.
and clarified that no 1st grade teacher wins 25 thousand dollars nominal and published the newspaper "El País" the Sunday before classes begin. The teachers are very tired and we miss because most of us are very sick from the stress (CODICEN did a few years ago a conference to analyze causes of absences and the figures were striking: the teaching is affected by stress is endemic after pilots and transporters, the most affected).
After telling the truth: did you still believe that teachers in the public system are some loafers and thieves who steal the money from the state?
TEACHERS ARE NOT "SYSTEM porter" (as Dr. Tarigo some time), U.S. PROFESSIONAL (mostly) TERTIARY GRADUATES OF 4-YEAR CAREER OF LIFE, DIGNITY AND STANDING TO DEMAND OF OUR BUSINESS.
