You’ll get over it.

Not if I'm dead.

Then quit you job and do something else. Absolutely no one if forcing you to stay in your position.

But then who will watch the children that no one forced to you have?

Are you saying teachers are glorified babysitters?

Glorified? No. We are seen as overpaid babysitters.

OMG. Enough with this rhetoric already. Virginia is a mandatory education state. This means, the law requires parents to send their kids to school. When you couple that with the very high cost of living in this region, you have families that have organized their finances and lives around the expectation that their children will attend school regularly. You cannot expect working parents to be able to fluidly shift in to full time childcare/co-teaching with zero stress or issues.

This argument is so riddled with false logic, it's honestly insane that people continue to perpetuate it. Use whatever brain cells you have left and be better.

The rhetoric is true though. We teach and parents say we aren’t doing our jobs. We teach from home and parents say we don’t care about kids. The ONLY value most parents think we have is we watch your kids the hours you need to go work and excel at your career. This is why people are fine with low teacher pay. For babysitting, they see it as a good salary.

LOL. As if dialogue were constructive here... I am peachy keen with people ranting and venting. It is good therapy.

Well the truth is most teachers suck at teaching and basically are just babysitters. The worst is the teacher who tells something like “I am great teacher! I have been doing this for 10 years!” As if doing something poorly for 10 is supposed to me something 😐

Sweetie, your misplaced delusions of grandeur notwithstanding, they do not have to quit. They can and will continue teaching safely via DL.

That's nice. NOWHERE in the law does it state that education must be in buildings during a pandemic.

Find your long-misplaced bootstraps and MANAGE YOUR OWN KID.

Reality is that teachers will be responsible for making up the learning loss, and they are screwed next school year when SOLs matter again and their students are completely unprepared.

Don't need one. My kids are older. No, they are not doing their job by any stretch of the imagination. You can say they are till you're blue in the face, but fact is, they're not.

When the dust settles you will see how MASSIVELY far behind non private kids in this area are.

DP. As a parent I find your comment infuriating.

Yes, I do expect that after the first 4 months (March, April, May, June) and then the WHOLE summer, you should have been able to figure this out before August that you needed childcare and then had a plan for it. That you're still complaining about it is completely annoying and buttresses the teachers' points. I think it is completely stupid that anyone is contemplating going back into the school building right now and I think the only reason you're pushing for it is because you are so disorganized and scattered that you deserve the chaos you're in.

The rest of us parents figured it out. The fact that you didn't is on you. Don't make some poor teacher work in an unsafe environment because you're an idiot. Sheesh.

+1. I have no doubt that many of them are trying very hard to do their jobs, but the evidence suggests they are not doing it effectively right now. If I had the kind of drop-off in my job results that APS has seen in how well students are learning this year, I would expect to be fired. Obviously there are aspects of this that are out of teachers' hands, like whether students have home environments conducive to online learning, but those same factors are part of the calculus on whether virtual teaching can be effective on this scale.

Well, hopefully the new administration will make the virus a priority and put all efforts into making our communities and schools safe again so kids can go back.

Bitch all you want, but the fault is not with the teachers.
