APS - is Duran discriminating?

[Anonymous]

Overloaded middle school parent poking my head in late here. Last I heard, middle school kids might return to school in person (or hybrid) in early February. But it sounds like there were a lot of problems with teacher vaccination rollouts.

Can anyone tell me the status of middle school? I am hoping they postpone for a bit until at least the teachers are safe, but I haven't heard anyone say that was happening. ??

You’d have to stay through the evening, though, because I am often still grading, emailing, and planning then. When my family asks when I’m done, the answer is “June”. I have kids. You may see me at a park with them or something (NOT during a school day), but you can trust and believe, you are getting your tax dollar out of me. Maybe lose the teachers are lazy abs selfish argument, the Duran is discriminating argument, and focus on how hybrid could actually work when we meet metrics. I’m not sending my hybrid kids back until then- and I don’t think your love for yours trumps mine, or health metrics. You people would screw hybrid up for everybody.

I honestly cannot believe my spouse has spent their adult life working their butt off to teach the children of these people. I used to feel proud of my teacher spouse, now I think maybe spouse is just a putz for serving this community of a$$holes.

You're just now realizing that?? Perceptions of teachers in this area have MASSIVELY changed over the past year thanks to many of the batS&#* crazy teachers posting on AEM. And their refusal to you know actually teach.

-2 teacher parents and a teacher sibling who still thinks this of the teachers in the is area.

I have no respect for the teachers here. I salute the teachers in New York City, New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago and all the independent school teachers for actually doing their job. Those are the heroes not the ones who are teaching in FFX county and in Arlington

At this point I'm just assuming posts like this are satire.
