[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newsflash:

I'm a teacher who is expected to be brought back to teach as I have no accommodations. I selected the virtual option but I know that's unlikely.

If I'm forced to teach in person I'm going to quit. And I know that I'm not the only one. Mark my words.

That's why it's important for each principal to know in advance prior to making the final plan.[/quote]

I'm a former teacher, so I sympathize with everyone still in the classroom. With that said, I think the unemployment rate is too high right now for there to be a mass exodus of teachers. It may push a lot of eligible retirees out of the classroom, but I don't see a lot of people quitting. It was already difficult to get out of teaching pre-Covid. During a pseudo-depression with tens of millions of people out of work and companies scaling down operations to stay afloat, I think a lot of people are saying that out of exasperation. Again, I sympathize because it's a terrible position to be in, but we won't lose a lot of teachers. [/quote]

Take FMLA, get your parents in on it if you have to.

And with all do respect to the person who replied, former teacher or not no one want your sympathy, you don't know what teachers are dealing with right now. No one likes DL but most people can't or are afraid to teach in person.

I think we'll lose enough, even 5% would be too many, you're forgetting a lot of people qualify for FMLA so they don't have to quit. And they could use those 4 months to find a new job, and believe it or not the online teaching world is booming...especially teaching English.[/quote]
