Well they are free to change jobs, like anyone else.[/quote]
And you're free not to read their rants[/quote]

I’m also free to think they are lazy.[/quote]

Well teachers are human beings too and, like every other profession, a few will be lazy. That goes for lawyers, bus drivers, line cooks, and cops. [/quote]

True, but are those people on Fb loudly praying that an entire county full of parents will need last minute childcare the next day? Yes, I know school is not daycare and it’s my responsibility, but it’s just really grating to me. I don’t think they realize how they sound to other working parents.[/quote]

If this is your complaint, you have a low bar for lazy.

Every teacher I know celebrating the snow day has either been ill and resisting taking a sick day off in the weeks before Winter break or has plans to catch up on grading at home. In my case, I’m doing both. [/quote]

Or we are caring for our own kids who are also off today while still trying to find time to catch up on grading.

No, I do not hate teaching. I’m in it for the long haul - came for the content, stayed for the kids. [/quote]

Understood. But surely you can also understand that many parents who don't have a 1 1/2 week break from work coming up might also be sick and/or have work responsibilities they are frantically trying to take care of?  [/quote]

You might not have one now, but, if you are middle class, you do get vacation time with much more flexibility than teachers do. Maybe you took a week of vacation this fall. Or perhaps you’re saving your vacation for February. [/quote]
