Advice for teachers after Wisconsin vote

Advice for teachers after Wisconsin vote

Since Gov. Scott Walker survived the recall effort with the help of millions in out-of-state funding, here is my advice to the teachers in the state of Wisconsin come the fall.

Show up to work at exactly the time your contract calls for, and leave work at exactly the time your contract calls for. In between, assign reading and study during class time and homework, grade the homework the next day in class while the students are studying. Do no preparation for class outside of working hours. Volunteer for no advising or coaching for any athletic activities, field trips or clubs, and cancel all extracurricular activities not covered by the contract. Volunteer for no extra help or tutoring.

Send a note home to all parents advising them you will be performing your duties to the exact requirements of your contract and nothing more, and if they have questions or concerns, they should contact Governor Scott Walker, The Koch Brothers, Fox News and Karl Rove.
