[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The MOU adds: “DCPS shall not require teachers to provide simultaneous instruction for student or family convenience.” And any teachers who are forced to provide simultaneous instruction and meet the limited criteria to do so must get paid additional stipends.

It’s the first section beginning on the first page and into the second.[/quote]

wow. reprehensible.[/quote]

Why is this reprehensible? Teachers have a job. Teaching simulcast is a second job, that teachers are untrained for. I simulcasted last year when kids were out and it was a mess for kids both in the room and at home (and I consider myself a pretty steady teacher). This isn’t a problem that can be solved at individual school levels and I’m glad the WTU didn’t just let it go.
As for the OP, remember that even a short small group is coming out of the teachers lunch or planning time, which they have a legal right too. I’m sorry and as someone who is currently in a school with multiple kids across different grades out I agree that the lack of a plan is a real problem. 
However, this is not a time to be mad at teachers. We are trying our best and a little grace would be nice[/quote]
