I'm a sub and used to it, but September is the poorest month of the year and to be in the classroom with financial expectations would suck!Kristi Gjoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171166503858364087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410387772840321888.post-28957787464326239492017-07-13T15:06:40.588-04:002017-07-13T15:06:40.588-04:00lol.

It's always a challenge buying hundreds if dollars in school supplies when there's been no paycheck since the end if June and the next one isn't due until the end of September.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410387772840321888.post-52091965308278902872017-07-12T16:07:43.967-04:002017-07-12T16:07:43.967-04:00Fantastic post.

We...Yes, this was written by two New York teachers. We tried to keep it sort of non regional specific, but the Use of August as the Long hot Sunday night of summer had a good ring to it. NY holds back our summer pay, and makes interest on it as well. When people complain about the fact we still get checks, I explain how the city is actually making money from us, by annualizing our salaries. Enjoy your summer. ^0^ BadassTeacher Associationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249079678877556839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410387772840321888.post-55000271522699566602017-07-07T18:15:38.614-04:002017-07-07T18:15:38.614-04:00Everyone doesn't follow this schedule.

The last day of the 2016-2017 calendar was May 19, 2017. Except for that quibble about phase 4 being August, when it is really July...this hit the nail on the head. I also point out that as a contract worker, I am paid for the calendar year, but my money is stolen by the school district so they can earn the interest on it, instead of me earning the interest on it.<br />And those poor kids...in school on August 2!just sayin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/15192019610880816868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410387772840321888.post-16357191599885352262017-07-07T12:01:25.228-04:002017-07-07T12:01:25.228-04:00Brilliant!
