I am a retired nurse who is tired of the teacher bashing by parents, media and government.
I spent many years working at jobs where lots of overtime was the norm, but I was paid for it.
I was never expected to volunteer my time. It has become an expectation that teachers will volunteer for all things parents and teachers feel they have the rights to. How many parents who say they volunteer their time to fundraising, etc., actually volunteer for unpaid work at their places of employment?
Extra-curricular activities are just that. Not necessary because they make good memories!
