[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even with the most supportive parents and admin I would want the summer off if I were a teacher this year. Wouldn’t you?[/quote]

APS teacher here. This is me. I’m exhausted and need a break before we hit the ground running in the fall. I want to spend time with my own kids this summer and have time to see family members I haven’t seen in over a year. [/quote]

Yeah, I really do not blame teachers AT ALL for needing a summer off after this crazy year.  I need time off after this, too.  Soon both husband and I will be fully vaccinated, hopefully kiddo can get vaccinated within the next 1.5 months, too, and maybe we can go traveling, see the grandparents, maybe go to a beach ... some fun stuff to wash this weird year out of our systems and get ready for the new one and back to something more normal.

I'm sure A LOT of teachers need time for their own families this summer, too.  Everyone is juggling plates right now and while I certainly wish there were enough teachers who had extra capacity to manage this, I know I can't do it myself in my non-teacher job and don't begrudge teachers from not being able to manage it, either.  I wish APS had access to other teachers who might be able to help.  But you can't make people give their time.  [/quote]
