  Case: Test Writing Committee
I have been volun-told for a test creating committee for my county. While this is a compliment as I am seen as an expert in my area, I dislike that we are not paid anything additional and it takes time from our students. Many of the days we get together take place during the school day so my students have a sub. Can you politely decline an assignment? How do you make the "boss" see that you are taking away from kids by pulling us from the classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a tough one. Yes you can decline, however, it will be hard to do so. If it's not mandatory and there's no additional compensation, just be up front and tell them that while you're honored they selected you, you don't want to be out of the classroom more than necessary, so you'd have to decline. It should be a given that students perform better when their teacher is with them as much as possible, however, research to prove this may be necessary to show the "boss."

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. Presenting facts is the best way I believe to show that you have put thought into the message you are trying to deliver. I think that being sincere,positive, and thankful are a great way to decline the offer,like stated, when not mandatory and there is no additional compensation.
