[quote=Anonymous]Equity is gone. If you are on this site, you do not realize how students struggle with technology, money, abuse, poverty - even in your wealthy school district. The rich (I am not rich but make about $60000 which is decent and there is not mental or physical abuse in the family) will do just fine by hiring paraeducattors and the poor will just be left behind more than ever before. We should consider elementary teachers essential and had some form of in person instruction for those few. Teachers could have been allocated to DL or in person. A grocery store worker is essential, makes less than teachers, and never signed up to be essential. Our military knew what they signed up for but many make enough money to qualify for food stamps. I am a teacher and I am so worried about our youth. We are going to put most students so far behind and, worse, in a dire home environment. This will have significant long term consequences and worries me to the point of tears. Schools should have done more. All the parents who don't want to send their kids to school can keep them home.

Day cares are open right now. And, yes, as a teacher, part of my job is essential daycare. Sorry other teachers, you should have known that when you took your job. Our education system was already terrible with many elementary teachers not even knowing basic math. Our society perceives teachers as lazy due to an experience we al, have had with 'those' teachers. We are not all like that and it is so sad to see teacher bashing. At the same time, I get it. Too many are not really into their job but many of us are in it for the right reasons. My job is to teach content, build relationships, guide students and be there for them, both from a personal and academic standpoint.

Teachers- education of youth is essential. A lot more essential than your house painter or landscaper.[/quote]
