News flash! I don’t want to teach from home. Most teachers I know don’t want to do this.

50+? I’d like to know how you arrive at that number and how much compensation you think that would equal.

50% teach
50% babysit

Duh!

Why don't you just drop them off at the bar that you're drinking at? See if I watch your kids while you're drinking.

Funny you say that... A friend shared a photo from the day in person school resumed of a bunch of gleeful parents drinking on the sidewalk as their kids lined up for the school bus. Klassy!

I’m mad, we got the gutter trolls. This is just lazy and uninventive. Tell your troll farm we are bored and need new challenges.

Different district, and they made us do this at her beginning. It was a nightmare because there isn’t a separate room for every teacher, teaching assistant, and related service provider to work from. That means only one person can have their microphone on or you get horrible feedback. The wifi at the school is slow, so the video feed was breaking up all the time with everyone on it at once. Because we couldn’t be alone in the rooms we all had to wear masks at all times, and the kids could barely understand what we were saying. Teaching phonics was impossible. People kept coming in and interrupting to ask questions, drop off paperwork, etc. and it was very distracting. They eventually changed the policy. It was an ill advised method of control and did nothing to improve any productivity or student learning.

FCCPS addressed this. They spent thousands on cameras and mounted them in the high school so they say teaching with masks and wifi will not be a problem. They have it all figured out. Like most schools, the ones not teaching classes every day know what is best for teachers.

What do mounted cameras have to do with wearing a mask or being alone in a room? Mounting a camera doesn’t create twenty extra rooms or prevent COVID from spreading via aerosol transmission.

I'm not sure about the 20 extra rooms but they have addressed the aerosol transmission. Either you aren't paying attention or just want to complain.

Noonan’s email today sounds like he was back tracking. With the metrics the last 7 days in the red, sounds like they will continue virtual and likely not return.

I'm not sure it's backtracking as much as it is pointing out the obvious - numbers are terrible and it seems unlikely the elementary kids can go back next week unless we have a big improvement in the next few days. I think the new metrics they've put in place make loads of sense, but we need people to stop traveling and doing things that cause spread so we can get them to a better place and get the kids back in.

addressed as in acknowledged and then moved on? Unless they have found a way to have negative pressure rooms with hospital level protective equipment, they haven't actually addressed it, they have just accepted the risk

How does everyone feel that they are making the final decision on Friday about remaining virtual for the following week? I see they are giving us an idea on Wednesday but this may change. I would like to hear other’s opinions on the short notice.
