We are happy teachers received full pay for 2.5 months when we did not receive full service. Zoom and videos for a 6 month old is a valiant effort but not “childcare” in any sense of the word for an infant.

I’m on the opposite end of that. Parents aren’t paying, but we are doing zoom 5 days a week, facetiming students, running a website with activities and videos of us reading, organizing virtual field trip links and discussion groups, etc. I’m grateful we are getting paid (ppp loan) but when you consider that parents are getting all of our work for free...

If the kids are younger than four, that work isn’t helpful to us. We didn’t ask you to do it and don’t want it. That product isnt what we want - that’s just too ur director inventing make work to excuse the huge bills she is still charging us.

Have you ever worked 8+ hours a day to create an unwanted product that is given away for free? That director is completely illogical.
