[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many people complain about the laziness of people in other professions who have been working from home for nearly two years? Do you complain about your lazy accountant, lawyer, and tech people because of where they are located while working? I'm a new teacher and have spent days trying to get ready if we go virtual. I've never done this before. Ditto for at least five of my colleagues who are also new teachers. Keep complaining and you will have even more new teachers to complain about since many teachers aren't coming back next year. I know four from my school alone who are quitting or retiring early.[/quote]

Okay, this kind of thing irritates me.  All the professions you get mentioned get judged based on their performance and output.  Like if your accountant doesn't file your taxes in time or messes them up, then yes, clients will complain.  It doesn't matter where the accountant calculates the numbers.  Teaching -- and how and where you connect with your students  -- matter.  Since you are a new teacher, perhaps you did not have first hand experience to see how difficult it was on the kids last year.  But lots of teachers were talking about how much harder they worked.  What does it matter if the actual job performance is worse and the kids suffer?  I'm a lawyer.  Do you think my clients care if I am working harder in the pandemic if my performance is worse than before?[/quote]
