“As a teacher and a mom… Just take the time off, girl! Teachers shouldn’t have to stay after work unpaid any more than you have to take off,” one comment read.
“Totally agree with this because what a bummer for you and your kids! However, as a former teacher, I wonder if schools do this so teachers aren’t asked to work overtime (although most already do, due to the overwhelming amount of work they are constantly trying to get on top of). It’s not fair to ask teachers to do more than they already are, outside of their paid hours unless they’re going to be paid for it. If teachers were paid more, I’m sure it’d be easier to ask them to work extra hours,” someone said.
“Maybe it’s because teachers don’t get paid for working outside their contract hours,” one more tweet read.
