“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.

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)

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.

We did. We went private. Eat decisions ever. Our teachers don’t whine like you crybabies. And they’re 100 times better

Ooh! That hurts. Especially since they’re not certified and they literally have to blow sunshine up your dress or they won’t have a job.

Yeah, some of my best teachers growing up weren’t certified teachers. They taught in private schools after working in other fields. They were amazing with all kinds of amazing experience that we benefited from.

But, you know, let’s pretend that a certified teacher that got a 2.5 gpa in elementary education is the gold standard. 😂

Hey, whatever it takes to make you feel better about your private school that you think is so much better!

By the way, I had a 3.8. Unfortunately, I am not smart enough to not have engaged with you. I am embarrassed that I have. You are a world-class asshole, and this is not how I should be spending my limited free time. BUT- I would bet my house that I could work circles around you. I hope that you can find happiness. It seems of the pandemic has really done a number on you, and I’m sorry for that.

A 3.8 in coloring. Well done.

How are you going to at once argue school and learning matters so much you’re willing to go scorched earth over 2 closed days but also accuse teachers of having degrees in coloring. They both can’t be true. You’re all deranged and need meds tbh. This thread is insane.

Seriously. The way some people hate teachers I can't believe they actually leave their kids with them all day.

Obviously they don't like their kids and want them away with anyone other than them. It makes me feel badly for those kids. Imagine having some of these people as parents? Talk about losers.

Because they incorrectly feel entitled to have a place to store their kids all day.

Schools? Of course they can if they don't have staff. Stop trying to pit teachers against doctors and nurses. The professions are nothing alike.

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.

You're not the arbiter of what legitimate reasons are.

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.

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.

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.)

LOL. This is you. "WAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" (Insert dramatic foot stomp)

You don't get it. We paid for something we didn't receive. Give back my tax dollars.

You don't set the standards. The people who do did set them, and they were met.

You"get back" nothing.

Both are true. Schools were closed last year and even in normal years ACPS is at best average and in some cases unaccredited. That is until VA Democrats changed the standard to accreditation to still “failing but at least making some progress”. What ACPS’ slogan actually means.

If you’re not one of those “teachers”, that wanted to go back in person, good. Unfortunately many of your peers and your union and their political lackeys disagree. They are discrediting the profession with non performance and now not even showing up.

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

LOL. Don't you think she's got you and your kid all figured out??? You're too dumb to see even that. Honestly, parents like you are embarrassing to the rest of us. You bring us all down.

I am so confused buy this. The parents versus teachers mentality is rich (although I think you are, most likely, a troll). Equity for All, right? Wonder if you have bought your ACPS approved merch yet?

They’re not showing up? Or, they’re showing up each day but sometimes taking a day off when needed which is a benefit of their job and one in yours that you use as well? Get a grip.

Some of us come from a mission first background. Teachers get 2-3 months off a year. Stop complaining.
