Seriously fighting over the timing of parents teacher conferences?

TG I don't have any children in this pathetic school district.

This really supports that both sides don't care and have their own agenda's that are more important than the children.
Hopefully someone with authority puts them in a room and tells them they can't leave until they arrive at a mutual resolution....

The McNair schedule says 6:00pm. I'm hoping teachers at McNair have the sense to actually be there to receive parents at 6pm so no one's time gets wasted.

The district wants the conferences, also called "report card night," to start at 6 p.m. and the union says they should start at 6:30 p.m.

Even faced with the district's threat of disciplinary action if teachers don't show up tomorrow at 6 p.m., the union is not backing down, and has ordered its members not to report until 6:30 p.m.

JCEA President Ron Greco said any changes to teachers' schedules need to be negotiated.
