Teachers just wanted to teach a schedule similar to all of the surrounding schools that teach an 8 period day. This is not what the contract turned out to be. Not everything in a final contract is what teachers want - often it is the best they can get.

Wouldn't an instructional Study Hall be called a CLASS?
I am currently a teacher - you cannot visit a teacher anytime you want. So, Study Hall is not going to allow students to visit teachers unless that teacher happens to be free.
Also, you have some egregious grammar errors for a teacher. "If you're here to complain...." -

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the above statement, or how it would benefit teachers in any way. They will still be in front of a class for the 6th period.

ReplyTrust me - teachers don't want this! It is taking away opportunities for them to take other electives, thereby reducing REAL classes they could be taking. This also has nothing to do with the emotional lives of teenagers.
I really believe this is a cost-cutting measure. They can reduce more expensive teachers and then hire teacher's aides or first-year teachers (who are inherently cheaper) to run lots and lots of study halls. If there are over 1000 kids in each high school, just think of how many Study Halls that is!

ReplyThis goes out to Theresa - Students will NOT be able to visit their other teachers during Study Hall. Their other teachers will be TEACHING!!!!!

ReplyPlease do not let the fact that the District is calling this "Instructional Support" disguise the truth. This is STUDY HALL.

ReplyThis is NOT a course with a curriculum. This is plain, old-fashioned, sit in your seat, STUDY HALL. This is not a specialized course teaching the kids anything!

ReplyStudents will be in a random study hall. They will NOT be in study hall with the teacher they need help from. Also, they will probably NOT be in a computer lab. Students will be on their own, "working" at a table with their friends. I'm sure very little will be accomplished. We were all in high school. We know what Study Hall really is.

You are assuming I am a teacher in your district. You are assuming quite a lot, frankly. Your own text is vitriolic - look it up.
