Tim says vacation cut for students & teachers

[pioneer]

^^ I love how your link not only shows a study of American jobs to be used as your point about Trinidad jobs, but show 3 more stressful jobs than teaching that don't give as much vacation as teaching. You're really winning today.

You studying he? He prolly never held a job where everyday that you're on the job yuh cud dead. I tired ah dis bitchy whining about stress, If'n iz too much stress, press out! You have a job where every single weekend, public holiday, yuh home. Then yuh have yuh sick leave, yuh casual leave, yuh normal vacation. Thas nuh enuff time to de-stress?

Trinis like to be in everything, so they sit and watch good morning america and hear a doctor talk about stress

So instead of dealing with life and accepting reality, the trini prefers to buy his head in the sand and say I am stressed.

Regularity and Punctuality in Secondary Schools in the Teaching Service

The Teaching Service Commission wishes to advise all stakeholders that a report on regularity and punctuality among Secondary School Teachers in the Teaching Service for the year ending 2012 has
been obtained from the Ministry of Education.

From the data presented, the Commission was able to discern the following:

1. A total of 1,099 secondary school teachers have exceeded 14 days sick leave or 14 days ccasional leave or have been late more than 1,000 minutes for 2012. This number represents 19% of the secondary school teacher population.

2. 755 or 14% secondary school teachers have exceeded their sick leave entitlement of 14 days in 2012.

3. 472 or 9% secondary school teachers have been late in excess of 1, 000 minutes in 2012.

4. 149 or 3% secondary school teachers have exceeded the eligibility of 14 days casual days in 2012

I'm guessing "stress" caused em to be late/absent?

What the forum-teachers have to say? Surely google has some site/article that you all can post as an excuse.

Can't wait for the 2013 report.

so by extending the teaching terms these figures going to go down? or the same delinquent teachers juss gonna get more time to reach late, to exceed the allowable leave and sick leave entitlement? PP logic amazes me..........this sounds more like Sat Maraj ranting
I guess once more the 50%+ teachers that don't do this gonna suffer.

# of teachers that didn't use up sick or occasional leave etc.

There's no such thing as "early minutes" as a public servant.

2012 stats will show elaborated data, if i remember, that was the year teachers engaged in strike action so the stats will obviously be high

2013 should be less

and its very simple, put things in place to deal with delinquent teachers
but its clear that the nation fosters delinquency since we have delinquent teachers, public servants, police officers etc etc and nothing is done to weed them out

[pugboy]

are these stats accurate ?
do schools have proper HR personnel to keep track of these things ?

[~Vēġó~]

delinquency seems to be the norm throughout......

yeah they do, on a monthly basis before the info goes to the head office, you have to sign stating your leave and minutes late its true and correct....

once there isnt any ratch going on in the school, and MOE tabulates the results properly it should be accurate

[pioneer]

wait wait...teachers allowed to strike?

wtf am I hearing

Strike action needs to be outlawed across the entire country. Anyone who strikes should be fired.

Use your vacay days and strike all you want.

[X_Factor]

^ u probably got it wrong,
if you strike, you have to apply for the day off using one of your allotted days

[dean_spleen09]

Let me simplify - How many actual teaching days are there in:

1. The first week of school
2. During examinations (mid term & finals)
3. The last week of school

Do not count public holidays and sports day. Let's not forget outing too.

or the 1/2 day every month "bank time"

Then y de fork dey going over their limit?

You mentioned the strike, if they strike why are they taking additional days?

I find you quiet boi

ttuta want the govt, that trying to reduce teachers time away from classes, to give them training on work ethics. would this training, to reduce time away from classes, not cause more time away from classes to attend this training?



.....yep makes sense!!!

[pioneer]

Nah send them on training during school vacation, but wait they might want the gubment to provide them transport and other incentives.

ohh gosh, its 2hrs, and other professions get up to a whole day off eh....

and as for exceeding sick, it can happen if someone gets really ill you can easily run over ur sick leave

as for casual leave, well if you exceed that without a really good reason, you should have some sort of repercussion....which i think is they deduct the extra days from your salary

but instead of focusing on vacation there are much more important matters to put the attention onn such as

student support services, which is almost non existent!!! (imagine after 2yrs they now calling and doing follow up on a child who left the school a year ago)

special needs children --get schools specifically for special needs children with learning disabilities

councilors and psychologists for schools to try and nip the deviance where it starts

focus on delinquent parents who really doh give a fack if their child learn or not

[UML]

The "deviance" starts with the teachers!!!

Children spend more time in school than home
