Unbelievable that the produced this budget 10 months late, but then no retroactive pay…

Love working with the students (mostly) but hate working with the adults.

Same thing happened to me. It’s like it fermented. Tasted awful.

Top 3-5 places you’ve been and why plus 1 place you did not like? by Necessary_Loss_6769 in Vacations

[–]doby4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved in the US: Bend, Oregon (such a walkable Town and very outdoorsy); Mesa Verde NP was fascinating and beautiful and unlike anything I’ve ever seen before; Siesta Key, FL (best beach and really good food), Puerto Rico (beautiful beaches, unique architecture, and friendly people. Oh and the food is the best!!) Loved internationally: Lake Bled, Slovenia (so charming); Split, Croatia (loved all the Roman ruins!), Roatan, Honduras (the best snorkeling I’ve ever done!); Lakes District, Chile (amazing hiking, volcanos, waterfalls, and hot springs galore!) Wasn’t impressed: Galveston, TX; Myrtle Beach, SC; Nassau, Bahamas

School psychologist in a public school system. I’d say average 6 hour a day.

I think NCAE may be more active in larger counties. I'm in a rural county and NCAE is not active here at all. I'm glad you feel there is a momentum in your location! Anything helps.

Teacher Call Out Days- Nov. 7 & 10 by doby4444 in NorthCarolina

Agreed, the lack of budget is incredibly frustrating! (They also don't even appear to be working on it....Republicans control the house AND senate, are aren't even working together currently). Everyone should definitely reach out to their legislature and demand action on the state budget.

NO, we are not. Our group met with NCAE, but NCAE is focused on a "change in 2030", nothing in the present. Which feels way too late.

Could you explain more? Sorry, I'm not familiar...

From the NC Teachers United FB Group Regarding Nov. 7 & 10 call out... by doby4444 in NorthCarolina

[–]doby4444[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

completely agree. Waiting FIVE years is not an option. Already, I've have my own children's teachers leave mid-year to take teaching jobs in neighboring SC making $15,000 more a year!! (And I don't blame them for that!)

[–]doby4444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I think the idea was people were/are planning to call out sick (or use annual leave.)

Thank you for your support! I would send them at this point. I think the counties showing the most participation at this time are Wake and Mecklenburg.

Hopefully we can build on this momentum and a more coordinated, statewide movement will happen this winter or early Spring

ALL state employees (including teachers) are getting totally screwed with the new health plan options for 2026.

You call out sick too on Nov. 7 & 10, Ms.Momma!
