"I support the teachers" people

[Anonymous]

Lol at this thread. The OP apparently didn’t enough satisfaction squabbling with teachers and whining about their disappointments in ALL of the similar threads created just today! They baited parents just to argue here, as if parents are the ones who are keeping their kids from in person school, and not this pandemic.

Sad!

It’s interesting how nobody will answer the question of how long you will accept DL for.

How long? I guess we'd have to ask COVID. You do know that there is a pandemic, right? If it is the entire school year, I am fine with that. If we get to fall 2021, ask me then. That is more than 9 months away. 9 months ago we were in February and we had no idea that 230,000 Americans were about to die. So chill. Take it day by day and week by week. There's no rush.

For you. My special needs kid is loosing ground on every measure. There is a rush for him to be back into school. Socially and academically, he won't be AT ALL prepared for middle school next year. His teachers could care less.

Kids are in school all over the country and the all over the world. NYC with it's old buildings has kids in school. But somehow DC is different.

I mean, honestly? Teachers care but your child isn’t the only one on the room. A teacher can only do so much. You are going to have to help get your kid ready for middle school especially if he has an iep. It’s sucks but did you expect something different? Parents of kids with ieps have to work 100x harder than everyone else. And I’m speaking as a parent of a kid with an iep.

I mean, I literally got told by a couple of teachers today on here that teachers do not care.

No, teachers. Notice that schools are in session in many, many places. It's the teachers who said no.

+1 No one is going to care about your children more than you. No one. Not even their teacher. Sorry to break it to you.

+1, we've adjusted and making it work. I don't think its fair to blame the teachers as no one is asking their opinion and their safety as well as staff, student and families are just as important.

So DL until fall 2021 and beyond is ok with you?

Why do you keep asking the same question over and over when its already been answered? You're not going to get the different response you want.

Newsflash but even in school they aren't going to be prepared for middle school as the elementary curriculum is weak. Academically you need to supplement and get supports in place. NYC is not fully open and they've shut down again. Its on you to care about your kid and support them. How would you feel if your teacher caught covid? They could be out for months? Do you think it will be easy to get a sub? Do you know what its like to have multiple subs in 5th? We had that last year. It was terrible to the point, COVID was a blessing to get out of a bad school situation.

ooo i like the part of your argument where you suggest that because regular public school isn't entirely sufficient that we shouldn't bother with trying to improve the current situation

If NYC is doing it so well, move there.

Teachers care to a point but your kid is one of 60 (if a two person team). You child will never get the individual attention you think he deserves. There are too many kids they have to worry about. My kid had an iep. I work 100x harder than all the other parents I know (even during a normal year). It sucks and I’m exhausted but that is my life. I can wait for someone else to care about my kid or I can just suck it up and do the hard work even though I already have a job.

I live be this quote from The Red Queen in Through the Looking Glass:

Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"

Uh no, they were not expressing that my kid didn't get enough individual attention. They were literally saying that they could teach kids without caring about any of them.

What does it matter if you "accept" it or not? Answer: It doesn't. If you want to continue to be enrolled in public school, then you do public school in the form in which it exists during a pandemic! If you don't "accept" it, then withdraw and go private or homeschool.

But either way, for the love of God, STOP WHINING.

In fact they were making fun of parents as though it was a ludicrous thought that teachers would care.

They're not on our side.

I mean, or you band together to try to convince the powers that be to change it. It's almost like...we had an example of collective action today? But no, no...only teachers can participate in collective action or put pressure on policy makers.

Go find your tribe for collective action. We aren’t it.

Do you really believe there are no trolls here? Everyone is not who they say they are in this forum. If you really think every nasty thing on here came from a real teacher-I’m really sorry. I also choose not to believe every nasty thing here came from parents.

Right? I like how people in DC, probably the leftiest place in the US are like "you should passively accept bad outcomes" and "being interested in policy change is WHINING! Accept the way things are!" It's weird bc I would guess that the above poster considers themselves on the left and yet is minimizing people who say that things aren't working and are interested in collective solutions.
