[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disgusting. Disgusted with the teachers. No civic duty. [/quote]

"Civic duty."  LOL.  Teachers are not your babysitters in a pandemic.  They provide education via DL.  If you need childcare, hire it.[/quote]

As a taxpayer, I have a right to have my child in a public school teacher’s care from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Not even just a right; I HAVE to send my kid to school by law. So yes, part of your job, even (arguably especially) in a pandemic, is babysitting, so I can, oh I don’t know, do my own damn job.[/quote]

No where does it say public school must be in person. You have a right to nothing but your white privilege makes you believe you do, welcome to real life where things are more difficult. We all pay taxes, sometimes for things that don’t even involve us. Shove your tax comments where the sun doesn’t shine because you’re not special. 
Some people have to work multiple jobs and don’t get to see their children from 7am to 6pm normally every weekday and they are making it, what’s your excuse? [/quote]

That doesn’t make sense. Attendance is mandatory for children age 5 and up. Online attendance is a joke - especially with many technologically incompetent teachers and just plain old teachers who can’t or won’t learn new tricks. If the quality of online education was superior, I could support the extra work and extra childcare issues/costs. But it is not. And there is no way that parents of elementary students can leave their children for 11 hours to online learning and expect good outcomes. This is bad for everyone and is going to bite the WTU in the tail.[/quote]
