[quote=Anonymous]It's not going great.  We have sub shortages which is making everything difficult.

MY biggest complaint is that the higher ups in Central Office don't seem to get that this year is different from past years.  They are still bringing out the same pointless trainings and beginning new initiatives and demanding the same data data data paperwork as always.  Aren't cutting us any slack despite the fact that we are teaching in person, virtually and sometimes concurrent as well, plus now the effect of the rolling quarantines.

We were JUST told the plan for quarantined kids:

1) parents are supposed to tell us if their child is quarantined and asked for makeup work
2) a quarantined day counts as a day for absences
3) kids are supposed to do assigned work on quarantine but they didn't say whether it needed to be graded or not.
4) I'm happy to grade the work but what if they kids blows it off?  I have to give him an F for all the days he is quarantined?  PARENTS WILL NOT LIKE THAT.
5) So now it will be my job to hunt those kids down and make them do a better job on their work while quarantined.  I'll have to do this virtually while I am teaching my classes in person.  That was what I hated about virtual last year.  I love teaching kids.   If the kids show up I'll teach them.  But I hate having to track them down.

All us teachers are grumpy at each other and not very forgiving.

At least I got my booster.[/quote]
