Would you give up your lunch period  if it meant you could leave work that much sooner?

My first response was yes...but when I think about it, lunch breaks are a good time to take a breather and refresh...so now the answer is maybe. It depends on which day and how hard I'm working.

Sorry, No Can Do.  My brief 22.5 (notice the .5) minute lunch is the ONLY chance I have to make it to the mens room.

In fact I'd stay a little later to just have a real (30 min) lunch period.

i often use my lunch period for collaboration with other teachers, voluntary PDs, meetings with administrators, etc. and still rarely get out of the building before 4:00 (school ends at 3:00).

What lunch break?  We have to take the students to lunch.

No.  It is often the only break I get all day, and I still stay over an hour later than most teachers.

What is the .5 for?  Is that the time walking from your classroom to the bathroom?


 


 


As for give up lunch...nope.  I already work through lunch so that I can leave as soon I can after school and be with my babies!!!

I would give up my lunch break if it meant that the school day would end that much earlier.  I usually just eat a few snacks throughout the day anyways, and I could wait until 2:30 to really eat some food.  But we all know that this would do very little in terms of getting out of the building earlier.  There is always something to do!
