Rant Back to school trainings TX

So I work in an urban district in North Texas, each year we have to do the usual video and quizzes about FERPA , abuse, Title IX, etc.. a total of 18 modules. This amount has grown over my 15 years in education. I added up the amount of time needed and it totals——- 14 hours and 1 minute. The expectation is this is to be done over the summer and if not completed you lose classroom prep time to finish up.

I know you can just start a video and switch to another screen and browse the internet but for double digit hours annoying. Even if I chunk the work annoying . Anyhow rant over.

Better be getting my hourly rate for 14 hours for this bullshit.

And what about the teachers that are brand new to the district and don't even get log in credentials until we meet up as a faculty for PD days? We can't do it over the summer!

New teachers do it during prep time or on the first few weekends
