[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone should’ve told me I shouldn’t be working Wednesdays! I’m meeting with groups of students all morning and in meetings all afternoon.

To everyone volunteering my personal, unpaid time to set up classrooms, post your email and I’ll send you the volunteer sign up genius!

I’m getting sick and tired of the teacher trash talk. I love teaching and love watching your children grow and learn but all this vitriol doesn’t make the $25/hr after taxes worth it. You need to realize, this will drive away the really good teachers, the ones that have options. Then you’ll really have something to complain about when the teachers that are left are inexperienced or inept.

Do you know how many hours I work at home, outside of my pay.  I am sure millions of others do the same.   It is a SALARIED position.  You are not an hourly employee.  [/quote]

Exactly. All of us are exhausted and doing way more than is listed on our job descriptions! I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have a ton of extra work to do, plus of course caring for their own kids. I get frustrated when teachers imply that their circumstances are unique. [/quote]

+1000, teachers are not the only people who have had to adjust in the past year and the continued implication that they are unique is so frustrating. Many of us are putting in hours well above and beyond our normal tours of duty, some of which is attributable to the fact that schools remain closed, so do I get to pass around a sign up genius for you to do portions of my job in exchange for the portions of your job that I am currently doing?  [/quote]

+10000 - MCPS employees have truly shown this year how little they care about students at a time they were supposedly rolling out a new program about the physical, social, and emotional support of students.  I have sat with my child to get him online and have him work in the dining room and classes are abysmal soul sucking experience.  One teacher’s class yesterday was “independent work”. No review or instruction for the major unit test. Just directions to log of and work on your own.  Another teacher was driving his car during class. DL is a sh$t show. [/quote]

Two of my daughter's five teachers don't even turn THEIR cameras on.  I just found this out yesterday at dinner.  I am not home while they are at school.  I actually get out of the house to do my job and have to leave my kids home for "school" [/quote]

You would have known if you were more involved. Do your kids turn their cameras on?[/quote]

Hey beotch teacher, I work 6:45am to 3:45pm as an RN 5 days a week. I am tired as all hell but I am involved. I emailed all of their teachers to make sure their cameras are on. I wrongly assumed the teachers would be. Your profession will never get respect with a holes like you. DO YOUR JOB!!!![/quote]

Not a teacher and its not the teachers job to monitor your kids, its yours.  No one cares if you are tired.  Figure it out. Do your job as a parent.  You want a prize for working?[/quote]

If teachers are posting things like this, it may be why teachers are not respected on this forum. The poster said two teachers did not have their videos on, and then you trash this parent’s parenting skills. Nice.[/quote]
