Susan and I both have psychometry degrees and we both offered to help test the 120 kids that have to be tested this summer if she would give us 8 hours of credit in comp time for 3 kids/3 reports.

The logic behind that is these are our holidays. It's like us coming in on Thanksgiving, so it's working overtime. If we worked at a factory, we'd get paid triple time wages. All we asked for was a full day's credit in time which isn't going to cost our financially strapped school district anything.

She said she couldn't do that, so I said, "Okay, then what will you pay me per child to test?"

After that, she said she'd give us the time.

Then she goes and finds four other psychometrists and offers them $50 PER CHILD and isn't even going to require that they write their own reports.

For $50 a kid and not having to write reports, I could do 4 or 5 kids a day. She doesn't think I'd like to take home $1000 to $1250 a week? She didn't even OFFER this to me and Susan even though we asked her about being paid when she said no to the time suggestion.

Now, she's created a budgeting nightmare and she's dumping all the reports these other psychometrists would do on our already overworked secretary.

This is not even ethical. *I* am this district's psychometrist. *I* should have been the FIRST person offered this deal.

Susan and I are thinking of talking to our superintendent about this. We're tired of being treated differently than every other 200 day employee in this district. Our plan would only have helped the district.
