Portland teachers say they are facing severe burnout and a lack of time and resources to do their jobs. Their solution? Reduce non-essential meetings, teacher evaluations and most importantly, reduce the number of hours and days kids are in school.
The Portland Association of Teachers has proposed a two-hour early release or late arrival every week for K-8 students in PPS, while removing six days of in-person learning and instead making them planning days for educators. The teachers union also wants high schoolers to stay home one day per week, preferably Wednesday and switch them to "self-directed" school days and remove three days of in-person school days to instead make them teacher planning days.
Thanksgiving Break, Christmas Break, Spring Break, Summer Break....sure sounds stressful.
PPS to teachers: Union proposal is wrong answer
