I still don't understand what classroom monitors are for

Why on earth would a teacher need to teach virtually? There is a vaccine out there.

ADA accommodations for the rest of the school year have already been granted. Vaccine availability or lack thereof will not change that.

Not least of which because the vaccine may still be contraindicated based on people’s health condition. I cannot express enough how morally reprehensible and short sighted it is to rail against ADA accommodations YOU yourself may one day need to protect yourself from retaliation by an employer for your health. Or do all of you really think you’re immune to developing health conditions, becoming disabled, receiving horrible diagnoses? You are not my friends.

People just misunderstand the various reasons that people get the accommodation. For example, it didn’t occur to me that some teachers can’t receive the vaccine because of their health conditions.

Most teachers haven't been able to get their first dose yet. You aren't protected until a few weeks after your second dose. Hopefully by the time we get there, which would be early April, we'll know how well the vaccine prevents transmission.

Do think it is still “most”? DH and I went this last week and it seems most of our colleagues have now had their first dose or have appointments for this weekend or early next week. Those second doses will all be scheduled for mid to late February. Mine will fall around February 18 and students are tentatively proposed to return March 16 our grade levels.

We are with FCPS and I’m curious to know how many they have vaccinated through today.

On my team, only one has gotten first dose.

On my team 2 out of the 7 teachers have gotten their first dose. The rest are waiting to be rescheduled.

Interesting. Which group? I’m in group 7 (ES) and out of 6 gen ed, 3 got the first dose and the other three are scheduled Sunday and I think Monday.

We are also in group 7.

Thanks. Just wondering about the process here. What dates (approximately) were the original appointments? I did find out the special ed teacher for our team has not heard yet about rescheduling. I imagine it will be soon though.

I don't remember exactly but I think the original group 7 appointments started maybe today and went into next week.

Different teacher here in Group 7 who hasn’t received first dose. Apparently when they cancelled Jan 26 and beyond it was a crapshoot. Some teachers scheduled forJan 31 got appt while others who were earlier didn’t. My teammates were scheduled on same day. One got link to reschedule the other did not. Seems to be very random.

Which is why I am pissed. The county should have done more on their part to make sure teachers going back first got their dose.

I understand ADA accommodations. I just don’t think WFH for a teacher is reasonable. Obviously you got it anyway. I have to accept it. I don’t have to like it.

Ok. Thanks. Sounds about the same except for the rescheduling part.

Unfortunately there are many “it didn’t occur to me” scenarios because people do not think outside their own box. Their concerns are for their own families and it’s sad and unnecessarily divisive.

Which is pretty much the universal parent sentiment. And the parents who say otherwise want to sound virtuous because it’s not their kid dealing with this mess. It’s okay for other kids.

Teachers have burned so much goodwill, it’s crazy. I’ll never vote for another bind measure again. It’s time for FCPS to fail and money to follow kids.

I didn’t get it. I am teaching in person. I certainly do not begrudge it if anyone who needed it. I don’t get to play with other people’s health. Nor do you, and the schools feel they don’t either. If you have a documented health risk your health will not be risked for your job. Nor should it be.

If teachers are refusing to teach from the classroom they should

1) NOT be allowed to get the vaccine
2) Be fired

There really should be zero need for monitors.

Okay genius. Here’s why you need monitors. Because you’ve decided to be obtuse.

Teacher goes in unvaccinated. Contracts CoVID. Or is a close contact with someone positive and has to quarantine. Whoops. She has to teach from home for 2 weeks. In person kids need a monitor.

Teacher kids go to school. THEY get exposed and / or infected. She has to take leave to stay home with them. Maybe can teach at home... BUT IN PERSON KIDS NEED MONITORS

Your retributive and punitive cruelty to feel better only hurts you and YOUR KIDS. No monitors, have fun staying DL.

Reading through the posts and the way people are describing how their classes are being handled differently, it’s clear that theres both FCPS and APS parents answering. It would be more clear if people remember to write what school system they’re posting about in the title. The attitudes on both sides for both school district appear to be the same however😂

Then honestly they need to stop being so demanding, judgmental and cruel. Ignorance is one thing. Being loud and wrong is another. If someone doesn’t fully understand all this, there’s a reason: it’s not their business. They don’t get to dictate what they don’t even understand

Is it so common to have a health condition where you can't get the covid vaccine, such that thousands of teachers have it?
