I’m sorry, but let’s look at reading and math scores. Please tell me how the situation isn’t critical. So glad you don’t take your job seriously.

I am a parent. My children's test scores on the SOL last spring and on the MAP this fall were great. That is beside the point, though. Education is no where near as important as health care. Reading and math scores don't matter if we aren't healthy. There is a hierarchy. Health comes before education.

Let’s fast forward to a time when we have no educated workforce, meaning no good doctors or nurses to provide said healthcare.

You’re an idiot!

I think THIS person’s kid could be a doctor, though. My kids fared well, too. So…

Look at statewide test scores. Oh, and factor in that they lowered the score for passing.

I suggest you get some blood pressure meds. What if there’s a snow closing this February?

You mean closing for a legitimate reason? That’ll be just fine.

“Some of us” - mentions husband, not self

Plenty of feds still in my neighborhood still not back in the office yet, working from home, exercising around the neighborhood, and complaining that their kids might be around. Your “big boy” is an exception, not the rule.

Plenty of feds, unlike public school teachers, can effectively do their jobs from home.

Who’s doing it from home?!

Um, where were you last year?

They failed our students. The complaint that there are still feds working from home is stupid. Many of them can do their jobs just as well remotely.

No, actually, YOU failed YOUR kids. The rest of us did great. YOU, however, not at all.

Not PP, but I worked at Costco the whole pandemic. Full time plus overtime hours. I helped my kids with their school when I got home. I did the best I could, but they’re struggling. Yes, I feel like a failure at times. I used to respect teachers but can’t anymore.

Teachers work full-time and overtime, too. Except you got paid for your overtime? Maybe you should have stayed home and helped your kids. Can’t have it all.

Teachers are salaried employees, right? Quit whining. I’m also salaried and wind up taking work home almost every night. That’s what gets me — teachers think they’re the only ones that have these problems. Complaining while most of us have the same issues.

Can you read? I’m responding to this a—joke that works overtime (and is compensated for it), and has lost all respect for teachers.

And I’m pointing out that they’re probably paid hourly, unlike you.

I don’t give a rat’s ass. If he or she has been at work, even overtime, while their kid has been struggling so tremendously, they’re not pointing a finger at me.

You’re right. She should have quit and let her kids starve.

Just another example of teachers being totally out of touch.

We have 2 kids with one at public and pvt. While true public has more days of school, pvt has better quality of education and teachers that do their jobs without drama. Public is so much testing and boring subject matter. Private is far far far far superior in every way to public. Maybe there was a good time in the past when public worked but not anymore. The price tag is insane at private but worth every penny.

Or made better arrangements for her kids. Don't slam me, too, because I am a parent. I completely rearranged my job and schedule to be on point for my kids.

+1 Teachers don't get overtime. They are paid an hourly rate. Even if they work more than the number of contracted hours they don't get paid for those hours. (DP)

AGAIN, teachers are paid an hourly rate for a contracted number of hours. Teachers, unlike the workers at Costco, don't get paid overtime for their work outside of contracted hours. Try to pay attention. (DP)

Another example of being out of touch: thinking everyone has the means to make better arrangements. I don’t know that grocery workers make as much as those in many other professions.

PP, thank you for going in and working during the pandemic. People like you were definitely included in the list of pandemic heroes. (Teachers should have been left off that list.)

Sounds like a salaried position. Quit whining. You knew what you were signing up for.

Amusing that you continue to place the blame on teachers. Like it or not there is a serious shortage across the board in education. it existed before the pandemic and became much more clear when teachers returned in person. Better do something soon because it is getting worse...and yeah they knew what they were signing up for, but it wasnt this. Don't be mad that they are all leaving.

I didn’t get her pregnant. I planned for my family, and I’m a really good, hardworking teacher. Zero guilt. You can’t have it all, and I’m not taking the blame because someone’s child struggled academically during a pandemic while they made the choice to collect overtime pay.

YOU are not paying attention. I put in the hours, but I’m not going to hear that I failed this parent’s children when they are never home. I can’t do it all for you. We were in the middle of a global pandemic, and you all need to get over it.

You sound like a real peach. I really hope my kid has you as a teacher.
