[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vaccinate  teachers.

Just, literally,  SHUT UP and vaccinate the teachers and then your kids will be out of your hair and  your daycare needs will be met, because,  let's face it, that's what this is about.

Stop using dumb isolated incidents,  your level  of comfort,  and  dumb-brained  whataboutisms to support something that  everyone understands,  even YOU, that is very risky right now.  Teachers are not going to be sacrificed for your comfort and  job concerns. They are already working harder than most.

But, in the end, the  sizeable CHASM caused by the endless complaining by parents  and vitriol about everything  summarily dumped in the teachers' laps has already irreversibly damaged the school- home connection, any trust whatsoever,  and  the future of this profession.

No, I am not currently teaching, so I have no horse in this game.  I have  been retired for 5 years. I am in contact with many families and their  children,  and I  have also raised children.  The parents, generally, are wrong here  and the help required,  financial  and otherwise, needed to come from the Federal government. I am so glad for the parents who do understand,  and  there are many of them,  thank  goodness.

Teachers are not the answer to your parenting and financial issues.  The worst  part is using suicide as examples. As teachers,  all of us can sadly illuminate incidence of child suicide having nothing to do  with a pandemic.

Public schooling will never be the same after this. No union can save it now. But, go ahead and sue...waste your time and  money.  [/quote]

You are 1000% wrong. Money doesn't make teachers safer. In-person learning will not "sacrifice" teachers' lives. Asking for in-person learning is not for my "comfort". There is plenty of disdain and vitriol from teachers. Expecting a safe return to schools is not a reflection of "parenting issues". It is in the best interest of a child's dedication. Child suicides are a direct result of forced virtual learning. Teachers and the entire system are complicit and are to blame. [/quote]

You think teachers and schools are more responsible for a child’s mental health than that child’s parents?  Talk about neglecting parental responsibilities.

The subject of this forum is “legal action” against FCPS for those who hold the schools and teachers responsible for whatever they think their children should be getting and are not getting.  Apparently, that is a range of services beyond just a “free education” if the children’s lives depend on school being in session and in person.

I am sorry confronting your own parental deficiencies is so difficult for you.  Learn how to do it, though, if you really want to help your kids.[/quote]

Actually, you’re right. And, it has been For 9 months, I was nice. I had Grace. I tried to see the other persons point of view.  I told myself it was hard all around in a pandemic.  And I told my kid to do the same. And I waited for other people— teachers, the SB, Brabrand, to develop a coherent plant to get kids fully back and start prioritizing their needs.  That was a parenting deficiency.   And when Kim  started on until my kid is vaxxed— probably spring of 2022– it hit me, I could have Grace for another year and let the damage keep mounting.  And we still would be DL or concurrent.

My kid has no vote and no real voice. And no one in FCPS going to voluntarily do what’s in her best interest.   And why should I expect the SB to fight for my kid if I won’t?  I don’t want to be this angry. And I don’t want to fight the teachers I once thought were my allies.  But I will. Because my willingness to sit back and trust FCPS hurt my child.

So, I’m done having Grace. And I’m done being nice, and I’m going to do my job as parent and fight for her educational needs.

And yes, I’m angry at myself for being so passive and trusting to my kids detriment. [/quote]

What, exactly, do you think FCPS gives your child that you cannot give yourself?  I think you are expecting more than an education, here.  You are your child’s first teacher and primary caregiver.  Rather than fighting the system, start spending quality time with your child.  She needs you, not the version of you that is off jousting windmills.[/quote]

I really don't understand this.  Maybe I should be embarrassed to admit it, but I am not qualified to teach my child 6th grade math.  I don't remember how to do it, and he's not getting it via his virtual learning, despite his small groups and my many discussions with his teacher.  I have a very demanding job that I'm doing from home while I'm spot-checking my three childrens' learning, providing IT support, and keeping them mentally happy.  My children are really starting to suffer from the lack of in person learning and support, not to mention the social challenges associated with sitting isolated in their bedrooms all day.  I am working the hardest I ever have as a parent, and I am failing at everything - as a home educator, as an employee, as a parent.  Please don't tell me to "be a better parent" unless you're going to tell me how.  [/quote]
