[quote=Anonymous] [quote] Anonymous wrote: Anonymous wrote: "Some critics see teachers’ unions as trying to have it both ways: reluctant to return to classrooms, but also resistant in some districts to providing a full day of remote school via tools like live video — the kind of interactive, online instruction that many parents say their children need after watching them flounder in the spring." This is hilarious, as these threads are full of parent screeching "MY PRECIOUS BEBE CAN'T HANDLE 3/4/5 HOURS A DAY ON ZOOM!!!" You're blaming the victim here. Yes you're right, many families absolutely didn't want 100% DL for my child. We would have very much preferred hybrid. But teachers, administrators and the unions got their way and pushed through DL-only. So it is what it is. At least families should now be able to expect teachers try to do a good job at DL to help mitigate some of the inherent challenges of remote learning. [b]But instead they're giving up on that as well.[/b] According to the NYT article, what apparently is happening is that the unions are now pushing to reduce DL even more, not because of "safety" but rather because some teachers feel "embarrassed" broadcasting live lessons from their home. [/quote] Just because the NYT interviewed a couple of teachers who are embarrassed about where they live does NOT mean that teachers across the country have given up on preparing quality DL lessons. Your lack of logic is simply embarrassing.[/quote]
