[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anyone wants to understand why these threads typically criticize teachers, look at the MoCo Snow facebook page. All of the people complaining about this are teachers. They don't care when students' and parents' lives are upended by last-minute delays, but god forbid they're given 20-hours notice that they'll need to come in at their regularly scheduled time.[/quote]

I'm going to call you out on this. I just took the time to look at those comments, and I don't see what you see... because it isn't there.

What I see is a couple of teachers who were frustrated because they changed their lesson plans to "accommodate [their] students only to be told 'never mind'". Another said it was a "major disruption to classroom plans." I did see ONE teacher write that it "reduces morale" and that the county "gave a gift and then took it away." That was ONE teacher. ONE. Overall? There are teachers who already spent time accommodating a delay who now have to throw away that wasted work. Yes, that's a frustration... and it happened because teachers worked ahead to help YOUR child have a useful day on a 2-hour delay.

I'm done letting DCUM posters insult my profession. I will not allow you to say that teachers "don't care". I won't allow you to imply that we are lazy and don't want to come in at our "regularly scheduled time."

Too many of us work too hard for this disrespect. [/quote]
Well said!!
~Not a teacher but knows a lot of very dedicated and hard working teachers[/quote]

Those aren't mutually exclusive. Some teachers are dedicated and hard working. Some have selfish and entitled attitudes, particularly when it comes to adding unscheduled days off or delays that may provide a break for teachers, but hurt students and families. Some fall into both groups.[/quote]
