Agreed! Teachers are working 5 days a week right now! We are working just as hard as ever before. We deserve to receive cost of living and step increases AT A MINIMUM.

So many teachers are busting their a$$ every day.

Every district has said their plan is for a 5 day fall. Every single one.

Yup. That’s the “plan.”

...6 months from now...

Shrugs. “Yelp, the plan changed. Four days concurrent to accommodate [insert McMuffin here].”

Sorry you have such a hard time with change and uncertainty. Maybe go lock yourself in your bedroom until things get back to "normal". See you in a few years!

You're the problem. Not the solution.

You're the problem - whine, whine, whine. STFU already.

As a parent, I can see that from my kids' teachers. I think they deserve generous compensation for their tireless work.

As a political constituent, I'd like Richmond to trade giving teachers a generous raise for tying state level school funding to being creative and getting kids in school 5 days a week (as long as they don't have a medical necessity for otherwise - if it's not medical necessity families are welcome to look into a private virtual option). I think the school board and superintendent in my district have failed us utterly and need the power of the purse used against them.

Oh, and no taking away Right to Work either.

That doesn't even make sense. Teachers won't have any ability to set school schedules. ????

No, but they could move to a neighboring school district with better pay and better administrators.

You have my support when all kids who want it are back in school 5 days a week.

You are ignorant trash. GTFO.

-parent

You can call me ignorant all you want. I think that says more about you than it does about me.
My spouse is a teacher and really advocating on the steps point. I tell my spouse the same thing I’m saying here - you’ll have more support for all of this once all kids are back in school. You’re the dumb one if you want to keep your head in the sand on that major public relations issue.

That's fine with me too. Check in next year for raises once schools are back open.

Most people don’t get paid based off of how hard they work, but rather on the outcome. Teachers may be working harder than ever but students are still learning less and academic achievement is down across the board.

My kids have only had virtual "school" four (short) days a week all year, and two hours a week last spring. You don't deserve a thing. We'll talk once schools are open again.

Its a tough economy and unemployment is high. Many, many people are in bad financial shape. For teachers to argue that they "deserve" COL increases AND raises would be pretty tone deaf EVEN IF schools were open. With schools closed, its insane.

I didn't get a raise this year/last year and I am spending SUBSTANTIALLY more in childcare with schools close. If I didn't get a raise and I am in person every day, then teachers shouldn't either.

Or we can make our communities (and schools) safe *and* give teachers raises. Then we get the good teachers. Capisce?

Such an entitled brat. Teachers have nothing to do with your job or salary.

They are open and more kids go back within the next few weeks.

This fall, all adults (not just teachers) and a number of HS will be vaccinated.

Anything less than 5 day school is worth moving. As a parent or a teacher.
