[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers are lazyAF.

They just want to sit at home on their couches and still get paid what they normally would. Totally taking advantage of the situation.[/quote]

You have got to be a teenager. Do your parents know you are spending time on DCUM posting idiotic, nasty comments?[/quote]

Crass response, but kind of true.  I don’t think teachers are lazy individually, but as a whole with their union advocating, absolutely.  The rest of the country will be back to work in June, July, August.  But teachers get to stay home, collect the same pay for no where near full time work, until their is a covid vaccine and zero cases?  I don’t think so.  If that is what unions are lobbying for, I hope this is the beginning of the end of unions.  [/quote]
We do not get paid for the summer. We are paid a ten month salary spread out over twelve months. You want me to work two additional months? Okay. Then you’re going to have to pay me for it (proportionally-not a small lump sum) and we are going to need to negotiate vacation time. Teachers don’t have vacation time built into our contracts outside of the schools breaks. We already worked spring break without compensation. I’m not an indentured servant. You don’t seem to understand that teaching is a job and not a charity. [/quote]

No one is talking about teachers teaching through summer. Let's not pretend you are working 40 hrs per week for "distance learning" while schools aren't closed now and if they stay closed in the fall[/quote]
I know reading is very hard but did you read what this was in response to? “The rest of the country will be back to work in June, July, August. But teachers get to stay home, collect the same pay for nowhere near full time work, until there is a COVID vaccine and zero cases? I don’t think so.” As if teachers not working during the summer is equivalent to two months of paid vacation. It isn’t. We aren’t paid for the summer so we don’t work it. Period. If you weren’t paid for a large portion of the year I doubt you would agree to work either. 
I also have absolutely no obligation to enumerate my work day for you. I won’t even try because that’s how little your opinion means here. [/quote]
