This has been explained. Did you miss it and want to hear? Or do you just not care about explanations?

Because your superintendent is a tool.

+1. FCPS parent who is very critical of the crap our unions and teachers pulled. But it’s silly. There is no point of having an extra risk for anyone while our healthcare system is stressed unless there is an educational upside. If your home setup/ young kids/ internet/ background distractions are an issue, you need to come in or find a better location. Besides that, the added risk accomplishes nothing. This is not the time for added risks without no discernible benefit. And no, my being happy you are getting screwed is not an educational benefit. In August, the kids should have been in school. In January, everyone who can be home should be home. Metrics y’all.

Thank you for being reasonable. I’m the FCCPS teacher. We had the option to work from the building all year and many teachers did. Many alternated working from school or home depending on personal reasons (childcare, etc). Teachers are not refusing to come in, but to mandate everyone is there without students does not seem to provide any benefit to anyone.

To appease the angry, torch waving, entitled parent crowd.

I think it’s smart in the sense that it’s a dry run before the kids come back. Also it’s a clear signal that teachers better have a plan in place for their own kids. (And spare me the tears all parents that work outside the home are dealing with these issues now as well.)

All the districts are doing this. I’m in Loudoun and it’s the same. Same in fairfax. All teachers reporting in January whether kids are there or not. It’s all about control and optics. Throw us in so open school parents can be appeased we are working. Throw kids in in a rush in the peak and see what happens. They have made a bargain with themselves that whoever gets sick it is worth it. It’s on them now.

The thing is per my admin the local school boards know this and it’s inconvenient so they’ve changed tactics and now community spread doesn’t matter because their lack of data shows it doesn’t spread in buildings. You know, from all the staff and kids who haven’t been in them. So they’re opening anyway because community spread doesn’t affect schools. According to them.

First teachers were saying they don't want to come back to school until everyone (INCLUDING STUDENTS) are vaccinated...now they don't want to go back to school even when the students AREN'T there. Hmm....

This is going to happen in FCPS too. And LCPS. And APS. It’s not an FCCPS thing alone.

Wow you’re this stupid? Nobody wants to go work in a building with 250 staff when there’s NO KIDS because it puts us at higher risk JUST TO STILL DO DL we can do at home with NO risk.

*snuffs two torches*

Please, save your histrionics for when they are needed, like when a loved one is in the hospital or you have terminal cancer. Life is too short and too difficult to put bad energy out there, unnecessarily. You aren’t helping the kids or the community this way.

Incredibly few. We don’t want to go in when it is NOT SAFE and it isn’t. I hate DL. Hate working at home. But I’m not excited about the possibility of going in to contract covid and then be gaslit that I couldn’t have possibly contracted it at school. Kids and staff are not routinely tested. Kids tend to be a symptomatic spreaders. Parents aren’t required to report positive tests to us even if they know. Kids come to school WHILE family members are actively quarantining. It’s not about not wanting to go to work. It’s about not wanting to needlessly get sick to do in and do less effective teaching at the same time.
