[quote=Anonymous]I am of course biased because I work for a local school district but I am consistently appalled and offended by my friends and neighbors lack of respect, compassion or perspective for teachers! We live in a high-income neighborhood and I certainly understand that parents around here have high expectations but wow... the mean-sprinted comments towards teachers is so upsetting to me. Most of these people could easily pay for tutors or private school, but instead, they gather in the cul-de-sac and bitch and moan about the education they are receiving. I see first hand how hard the teachers are working. I get emails at 10:30pm and 6:30 from the same teacher- making sure her virtual lesson will work without hiccups. We meet every. Single. Day. After school hours (while (for many of us) keeping our own kids at home, mind you) and we are not asking for a gold medal. These decisions are made by the school board. Not us! So please, feel free to speak up about your preference but do it in a respectful way. Send your teacher an email and let her know that you appreciate her hard work. And most of all, remember that this is a GLOBAL pandemic. No one truly knows for certain what the best answer is. [/quote]
