Svetlana Mamedova I do 12 or 13 hour days. Last year my workload was 150 kids I make contact with every day. So imagine 150 papers to grade and then enter them into the computer. Even if I give 5 minutes to each paper, how many more hours do I need to work to have this done. What do I get in return? Shingles. We are the PTA, we donate money, clothes, we buy food. I run the drama program, I buy all the costumes, I buy the food, paint, cardboard, everything we need I pay for it out of my pocket. I’ve had one school board member walk though my classroom in 18 years. Also, look and see who gave money for election campaigns on the school board members who sit there now. Bill Gates and a member of the Wal Mart family.
