According to my neighbor, who is a teacher, because of the weird way the days off fell that week, tons of teachers requested the whole week off.

Yes, but the were told they couldn’t have those two days off (3rd and 5th.) Why leave was granted I have no idea, it wasn’t supposed to be.

No. We recently got an email that so many people had already requested those days AND subs wouldn’t pick them up that *new* leave requests for those dates wouldn’t be approved. But ultimately they couldn’t staff it. Subs don’t work high volume days either. And you actually can’t just deny everyone leave. It’s a benefit of your job.

Eh, I think the teachers ultimately screwed themselves here. It will just become harder and harder in the future. My friend who teaches in HS said a bunch of his coworkers deliberately took leave AFTER the email as a F-U to admin. Very mature.

It’s our leave, we can do whatever we want with it.

That's not how leave works in jobs where people have to cover for you. Do you think nurses and doctors are all taking off wherever they feel like it or is there a level of coordination so that the hospital can still run?

The idea that you can just take leave whenever regardless of the impact is such entitled behavior coming from the adults that we can't expect the kids to be any better.

This. Imagine government agencies in public facing roles just shut down like LCPS now has to do. For example, I work for the federal government and my leave is restricted the days before and after major holidays. My supervisor can say no to my leave request if there won't be enough staff left to cover.

This is why schools have SUBSTITUTES.

Not nearly enough for any teacher to “take leave whenever they want.” You know this and are being deliberately obtuse.

Well, that's administration's staffing problem, not the teachers.'

Agreed, but you certainly seem to be gloating about it, aren't you.
Meanwhile, some parents have been thrown into a lurch trying to cover childcare...admin doesn't seem to care about them, either.

Public school is not responsible for providing you daily childcare. I know you HATE when people state this fact and it sends you into a tantrum death spiral, but it is indeed true.

Yeah, well, I am not a SAHM, so when my child isn’t in school, I have to either take off or find alternate childcare. Fine when there is illness or snow days involved, but when it is due to leave policies and poor planning, that’s a different story.
Or should I just leave my 6yo home alone? Like it or not, working parents expect their children to be in school and, yes, school is a form of non-parental supervision.

Too bad. Don’t have these phony expectations “because you have to work”. Next time wear a condom if you’re going to be this enraged about teachers enjoying their lives.

I come from a family of teachers. I'm not enraged at teachers - I know all too well what they deal with on a daily basis. I'm angry with the administration that allowed this to happen, and will likely not prevent it going forward.
You certainly are a nasty piece of work, though. Do you even care about your students at all, or are you just into it for the summer vacations?

I care about my students. But you’re delusional like the vast majority of people. I care more about my mental health, my own children and my sanity. It’s a job. Nothing more nothing less.

That chatter exists here only. Nobody in my school has mentioned it at all.

Now that ACPS has called it, other districts will follow suit.

I posted 5 days ago about the chatter. Once again you laughed. Once again here you are. Make plans for childcare. We are getting that week off too from school.

It still hasn’t been called. I think they’re just gonna blend classes and put kids in the auditorium to watch movies if they have to. I realize ACPS has called it but they didn’t call the 2 days next week Loudoun had to . Mostly you’re just stirring up drama.

I didn't laugh. I'm one of the PPs who stated before you that I expected it to happen.

That would violate multiple covid protocols at my DD's elementary school.

You can spread kids out in the auditorium.

Loudoun doesn’t have any Covid protocols besides wear a mask and even that’s debatable. Our ES has assemblies.

False. My kid's bus is close to empty because a whole class is quarantining in elementary. They have covid monitors going around giving out detention to kids who pull their mask down to drink water.

Our elementary school has assigned seating everywhere. My Kindergartener sits at the table with the same 3 other kids in class, at lunch, at, library, etc. The thought behind this is that it reduces the number of children who will need to be quarantined if there's a positive case. They appear to be podded up with the same 4 or 5 kids for every indoor activity.

Not the case at our school. Our elementary school has assigned seating everywhere.
