[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Push forward while FFX steps back.  Arlington is pathetic with vaccine administration.  Yes. The superintendent has gone mad. [/quote]

You’ll get over it.[/quote]

Not if I'm dead. [/quote]

Then quit you job and do something else. Absolutely no one if forcing you to stay in your position. [/quote]

But then who will watch the children that no one forced to you have? [/quote]
Are you saying teachers are glorified babysitters?[/quote]

Glorified? No. We are seen as overpaid babysitters. [/quote]

OMG. Enough with this rhetoric already. Virginia is a mandatory education state. This means, the law requires parents to send their kids to school. When you couple that with the very high cost of living in this region, you have families that have organized their finances and lives around the expectation that their children will attend school regularly. You cannot expect working parents to be able to fluidly shift in to full time childcare/co-teaching with zero stress or issues.

This argument is so riddled with false logic, it's honestly insane that people continue to perpetuate it. Use whatever brain cells you have left and be better. [/quote]
The rhetoric is true though. We teach and parents say we aren’t doing our jobs. We teach from home and parents say we don’t care about kids. The ONLY value most parents think we have is we watch your kids the hours you need to go work and excel at your career. This is why people are fine with low teacher pay. For babysitting, they see it as a good salary. [/quote]
