20minutes more, of what...

“I don’t know a word for beyond disgusting.”
That would be “liberal”
You got to be kidding! 12 or 20 minutes extra each day to make up for full days missed. Do you really think the teachers are going to do anything beyond the contracted number of hours daily? They’ll stand around and pick their noses, grouse about the Governor, or otherwise waste the time.
You’ve got a fan, Gateway Pundit has linked to this thread!
20minutes more, of what...
That reason alone they should be fired for being stupid!
And they want more money or they'll hold kids hostage from education?
An additional 65 minutes on the last day of school? That is just torturing the kids. What did they do wrong? And does anyone believe that there will be ANY child soaking up knowledge in that final hour? What a joke. I’m so glad I homeschool.
Maybe I’ll disappear from work for a week without an excuse, then when I show up, I’ll tell my boss that I’ll add 20 minutes to each day until I make up the time. I’m sure that will be sufficient and I won’t get fired.
Sarcasm Off: FIRE ANY TEACHER WHO DID NOT HAVE A LEGITIMATE EXCUSE TO BE OFF.
Great decision. Punish the kids for the so-called “teachers’” indiscretions and irresponsibility. These “educators” as a group need laid off. They are fools and union goons.
“So the students have to pay a price for the greed of the teachers?”
Don’t they always?
SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
Ha. Like kids care about that when they're sitting in the basement playing video games.
Teacher to Johnny...it’s Bush’s er Walker’s fault.
If I lived there and had a kid in school, you can bet I’d be there to pick him/her up at the normal time, and not let him/her stay for the extra 20 minutes the teachers’ temper tantrum inflicted in the students.
And you can bet everyday during that 20 minutes the teachers will brainwash the kids telling them they are here because of the actions of Gov. Walker.
The kids should go on strike and chant, “I was here, where were you?,” for those 20 min every single day. Parents could join in.
Sounds to me like they are doing this so they don’t have to pay sick pay to the Teachers, and don’t have to compensate them for this time, either.
I think this is a “contract” thing....and the Governor is doing the best he can within the terms of the contract. Also allows for suspension of those teachers who used fraudelent sick notes. Students also get to learn that there will be CONSEQUENCES.....20 min is NOT that much...
NO, 20 minutes isn’t that much ... our schools have done that several times to make up for extra snow days. BUT, in this case, except for the teachers’ walking out on the students as they did, those students wouldn’t have to spend an additional 20 minutes a day in class. So the kids are paying the consequences of the teachers’ actions. Somehow that doesn’t make sense to me.
I understand that the authorities (I think this is the Madison School District, not the gov) are trying to do the best they can. It is the teachers and their union who put them in this position..
And, I understand this IS Madison, so the kids were probably there protesting with the teachers. Most of the Madison parents probably are far to the left of any classroom teacher. So my sympathy is limited in that regard.
