While we are salaried professionals and therefore not paid by the hour, the fact is that, like other teachers, there is /always/ something more that /could/ be done. I used to be at a school that said teachers were on duty 24/7, and all to often I was called in the evening to return to school to get a microphone, projector, or something for an outside group that was meeting on campus—a group that I was never told needed something set up. I don't mind putting in some extra time once in a while when it is really necessary, but I've gotten to the point that I'm /not/ willing to put in extra work when the only reason I'm asked to put in extra is to avoid hiring another employee. -- David Lininger, kb0zke, MS/HS librarian Hickory County R-1 Schools Urbana, MO 65767 417-993-4226 tss003 at tnp dot more dot net -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
