WHATS IN THE CONTRACTS???(all public record)
BETHPAGE
as a part of the negotiated contract, teachers must remain in class 15 minutes everyday afterschool, just in case students or parents have any questions.
They also have to be available a total of 60 minutes per week, the time of their choosing, before or after school for the purpose of assisting pupils and for conferring with parents. The times must be posted so parents and the children are aware of the times.
COMMACK
all teachers that are assigned to classes K-12 must provide 60 minutes of extra help per week. Time can be at the teachers discretion, however, parents and students must be notified of the available times.
COLD SPRING HARBOR
teachers will make themselves available before or after school for any assistance to the children who either request it, or need the extra help
GREAT NECK
teachers must provide 30 minute session two times a week to conference, help or assist with work. Parents and children must be notified to the hours.
OYSTER BAY
teachers must provide before or after school sessions for extra help, and the hours should be posted.
And the list goes on and on.
District after district, except PLAINVIEW of course, offers extra help to THEIR children. The teachers in these districts must realize it is a joint teaching effort between the parents and the schools, and WE must do what WE can to see the students excel for the benefit of the student as well as the district.
Many of our teachers have lost their way. They as well as you Morty, should reread the current contract the teachers are working under.
It specifically states
The union and the Board subscribe the principle that differences shall be resolved by peaceful and appropriate means without interuption of the school program. The Union, therefore, agrees that there shall be no strikes, WORK STOPPAGES, or OTHER CONCERTED REFUSAL TO PERFORM WORK by the employees covered by this. Agreement, nor any instigation thereof.
Now I am no lawyer, but has there not been interuption to the school program, havent they refused to perform work.
dont we have a reason to get rid of them all and start all over, maybe with teachers who are young and enthusiastic and can teach with new ideas.

the implication of your post is that extra help is not available in this school district at all. This is not true. teachers in the middle schools are contractually obligated to provide two 41 minute extra help periods to students twice a week which adds up to one hour and twenty two minutes per week. maybe you should check all of your facts before you make such an ill informed statement. As to your assertion that teachers have refused to perform work, from what I can see this is also untrue, there have been no interuptions in educational services provided to the students.
