[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. Just entice teachers with money like essential workers!! $13/hr extra is a lot of money.

Then those who wouldn't have stayed will unless it's 100% a health issue.

If there aren't enough teachers that'll mean even LESS learning. People do realize this right??[/quote]

People don't actually care. They need somewhere to warehouse and occupy their kids while they work. The learning is secondary. And I'm not saying that in a disparaging way. Schools serve a double function and our society and economy become structured on that.[/quote]

I want teachers back because I need my 14 year old to have some structure and discipline in his learning environment. While I’m at work and he’s home alone I cannot trust he is focused on his work. I don’t need a babysitter I just need a structured environment set up for learning. Most people require that no matter the age. Not everyone is a self-learner. Heck, that’s why I want my gym to open too. I need the motivation and personal connection from the teacher and the energy and i yer action I get from other students not a video by myself in my basement. Not the same. I cannot even imagine what I myself would’ve learned if I was distance learning in high school. And then there’s the social aspect. I big part of “education” is working with others and interacting and interfacing with the other students. 
That’s what I need for my child. Not a babysitter. I understand if it’s kindergarten or first grade. They will catch up. But the older kids are really missing out and falling behind. I can’t imagine being a rising senior in this situation preparing to apply for college. [/quote]
