[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fire them.  There are plenty of Americans who need employment.  [/quote]

The vast majority of unemployment folks are front staff for dining and entertainment. Very few professional employees were laid off and won’t be until things like airlines go belly up. [/quote]

I assume that all of these "just fire them" posters are trolls. Do you really want your child's education entrusted to someone with no teaching education or experience?

It remains to be seen if the use of leave is more of a threat to make the county re-evaluate its return to school plan. However, as a parent of multiple children who have had bad experiences with long term substitutes and teachers who really didn't want to be teaching, be careful what you wish for. Miserable teachers do not create a positive learning environment.[/quote]

Not a troll, but I don't really see another way to handle teachers who won't return when it's deemed safe by the school boards. It's not sustainable to be virtual until the majority of teachers choose to return since it's become very clear that they are not happy with any mitigation efforts that have been proposed so far.

At the end of the day, yes, they need to resign or be let go if there isn't a verifiable reason they are deemed "high risk" just like any other state/federal employee who has been recalled to the office. If the shortage of teachers is so dire, well, it's not like we have lost much. I mean, other methods/programs/curriuculums for online learning which are accredited survive on a far smaller census of teachers.

It's not ideal. It's not perfect. It's not even good, but what other options is the stalemate offering?[/quote]
