[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] DL in Maryland is a joke. Let’s face it and save our money for a real education when public health permits it. The school can keep posting the random worksheets it doesn’t grade and the YouTube videos of other teachers. One teacher can do that for each grade in that state while we furlough the others.  Then those teachers won’t need to whine about how hard it is to teach with their child care responsibilities.

We can treat these teachers equally to school nurses, bus drivers, custodians and paraeducators who have been struggling. And we can balance our budget this year and save the $ for real improvement in the future. I would much rather return to regular school but until that can be done let’s treat all our education professionals equally.  Or if teachers want to actually teach live and grade like they really want to educate I am all for paying them.  But paying them to sit at home and whine about how online is hard while they each post the same videos as the other 200 teachers in the district without follow up is not ok.

Flame away but we don’t have the extra money for fluff anymore. There are lots of virtual teaching  jobs out there for those who actually teach that could be had by teachers who , as they say, actually want to teach.

I'm 1000% with you, OP. I have been shocked to find out how little teaching teachers actually do. Growing up in remember teachers working on lesson plans, etc. Come to find out now that the schools buy a curriculum with handouts etx and the teachers just spit out the canned lessons that were paid for.
I have yet to hear of a teacher helping a student who had a particular struggle like we had when I was growing up. Now, with DL, I'm convinced the teachers are a total joke.

Teaching should be done with AI that meets kids where they are, automatically customizes to their learning style and prods for their weaknesses and reinforces them.

Teachers are a joke, but when you see what they cost tax payers,  its not so funny. [/quote]

This post definitely makes me think that the quality of teachers will decline significantly in the future.  More capable graduates will not be likely to choose teaching as a profession. [/quote]
You're absolutely correct. [/quote]
Yeah, probably not many well qualified people who want a job where people call you a "joke" and say that you just "spit out canned lessons that were paid for"-you need to get a life, honestly. Teaching should be done with AI? Okay, then why do you dislike distance learning? I would think that anything that brings teaching closer to automation would please you. Who will watch your children all day, since that seems to be the only function of teachers that you care for? Our robot replacements?

I have less and less concern for working parents as I see these threads ranting and raving about how teachers are lazy, dumb, whiners who you would like to lay off en masse. Okay, good luck with your children in the fall! Clearly, you don't need us. You're so angry that there is no school due to a global crisis that is completely out of our hands. You have zero respect for the people who run the schools and who raise YOUR children so you can work without feeling guilty about it. How about thanking the teachers who have made it possible for you and your partner to work for all these years? All these parents who say that schools are the economic engine of our country, yet who refuse to acknowledge that schools don't run themselves. You know what? Pay me for putting myself in harm's way and I'll consider it. Otherwise, I'm going to keep advocating to keep myself and MY family safe-you can do the same for yours. [/quote]

Ugh! I can't believe someone wifh your iq is being paid to teach my children.  You are replying to me. I am not a working parent. Assumptions  are the antithesis of mental rigor.

The passive aggression is not something I want to see from someone in contact with my children.

And I dislike DL because its nothing at all like AI. You honestly are more clueless than I imagined a teached could be in 2020.

This is not an intelligent response. Lots of simple errors, childish insults, and no substance at all. Phrases like “wifh your iq” make it easy to understand why you don’t participate in the workforce. [/quote]
