There is NO school this week, get used to the idea.

Announce already no school so everyone can plan. meals can be delivered to students. Etc. They could have easily planned after the pandemic to have virtual on snow days. Everything was in place in 2020. Not ideal but wouldn't have to make up days in June. Students could see their friends and check in with teacher. Teachers check in, teach a lesson, read or have independent reading, they can reinforce the lesson when class meets again in-person. A county that used to lead the country in public education....two steps back.

No way kids are going to turn on their cameras. They will however, ignore the teacher to spam the chat.

Meanwhile, they are already using the Chromebooks to play “free games” and interact over Google Docs.

You mean the same thing they do in person. Simple solution. Mark kids absent and don't let them make up the work.

I take notes of kids that play games in my class. I am done wasting energy repeatedly telling them to shut them off. What I do is remember who they are and it’s surprisingly easy how 91s can turn into 88s.

Bitter old hag. It sounds like you're not teaching much. It's time to retire.

Have 18 more years until then. Then i can collect my government pension, disability, AND MCPS pension.

Too long. Just find a different job that makes you and everyone around you less miserable. It doesn't sound like this is the profession for you.

I have been employee of the month twice this school year and once last year. School seems to think I do a pretty good job.

Tell them what you just wrote here and see if they feel the same way. Clearly you're not. That should be obvious even to you.

That depends on Taylor. They certainly could be.

Really? I’m in Chevy Chase pretty close to Westbrook and we’ve been plowed 2x already.

I'll be at my HS with a shovel tomorrow to help make it happen because you don't get to complain about the problem if you aren't willing to be part of the solution.

Go ahead but it’s a whole lot more efficient with a plow that we pay tax dollars for

lol. Not everyone is as privileged as you. A lot of kids i. the county wouldn't be in a position to join virtual days. Scream all you want. Virtual will never happen.

How is it privilege? Most people have a phone that the kids can join a school session or hotspot. You are here online so clearly you can make it work. Why should we extend the school year because you are too lazy to parent?

You are a bad teacher and probably not engaging or meeting their needs.

Not a single plow in our 20906 neighborhood. Each day is another random car stuck on our street or intersection. We can’t even dig our cars out because of the ice. The snow and ice gp up about halfway to the top of the wheel wells. Only one person on the street has even been able to clear their sidewalk.

The county website says our street with get plowed by 8:49 PM today (Tuesday). I predict we are closed Wednesday and likely Thursday. When they are plowing they are physically driving the snow somewhere else! That takes a long time
