[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Exactly. Problem is they still got paid their regular salary when a) not teaching at all March- June 2020 and b) working from home and doing half the instruction for the past year+. All these other essential workers didn't have the opportunity to get paid their regular salary while not working...[/quote]

Again....these were all decisions made by APS. APS didn’t ask us for any input in the spring. I’m upper elementary and we still did daily review lessons and weekly office hours. That was more than many got and I don’t have an answer because I was directed by my principal as to what we should do.  And we are definitely not doing half the instruction this year.  Students received just under 25 hours per week of instructional time pre-Covid. Right now my students are receiving 70% of their typical instructional time compared to pre-Covid with 4 days of synchronous (17 hours per week) and a shortened day. And again, this is an APS directive. Teachers are not making these decisions you are blaming them for. [/quote]

Yeah but a group of teachers demanded their health and safety to be the number one priority for reopening facilities and blah blah blah all teachers did this too me inlcuding the ones years ago who never taught me critical thinking skills[/quote]

So... I’m a teacher.   I’m also an APS parent.  I wasn’t really keen on my kid getting CoVID, either- and I was not alone.  Sorry, but all of this has been necessary.  Your anger at teachers is really misplaced.  What was that Birx said about how this was handled...??[/quote]
