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]

Really?  If you are actually middle class and don't have family help, you also might need to use your vacation for the many school days off and early dismissals.  [/quote]

You might, but you also just might not want to actually spend time at home with your children rather than stashing them in the Kids Club while you drink and work on your tan by the pool.[/quote]
