Benefits and disadvantages of cost cutting?

PROS

  • A teacher sees less students during the day, thereby giving them the ability to spend more time with each individual.
  • Because of the increased span of teaching time, longer cooperative learning activities can be completed in one class periods. Also, there is more time for labs in science classes.
  • Students have less information to deal with over the course of a school day.

CONS

  • In the modified block I taught under, teachers only saw students four times a week (for ex. Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri) which means that students lost continuity on their off days.
  • If a student misses a day under the modular schedule, that student is actually missing two, or sometimes even more days.
  • No matter how well planned, on many days the teacher ends up with 10-15 minutes for the students to begin their homework. When all of the time is added up at the end of the semester, less information and material is covered. (Especially true in the modified block)

How long does it take to receive an insurance settlement from my attorney after you've agreed to a settlement?

The time to receive payment depends on the particular jurisdiction and Workers' Compensation laws. In Georgia settlements are approved by the State Board and that process depends on how busy they are.

At that point, it is up to the employer or insurance company to cut the appropriate check(s).

Possibly. Your clients may require you to carry the coverage so you don't come back after an injury and claim you're their employee rather than their contractor.
