[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This one from one of our Wilson teachers really burned me:

"I will be taking a mental health day today, Monday 11/2, due to the stress and demands of virtual learning and anxiety about the current DCPS reopening plan. My ability to do my job with the effort and heart that it deserves requires my own personal wellbeing as well."

We all have tons of anxiety right now - and the plan doesn't effect middle/high school so why not teach our kids?   Given that our kids will have school one day this week - the last day in the advisory and I am just pissed.  Plus, teachers are not returning emails to my kids and getting grades updated for work turned in 4-6 weeks ago still.  Finally, science is showing this isn't a huge issue.  Why are teachers not essential?

But, yes DCPS needs to get it's act together.  Did everyone see the email just sent from Ferebee pushing back reopening?  I feel for you elementary school parents.

So far - half & half showing up with my Deal/Wilson kids...we will see how it goes.[/quote]

Ugh it's like they think they have the hardest job ever, even though they get to do it virtually.

It is the day before the damn election. ALL of us are stressed out, including the kids. And they want to take the day off of the election to relax on a day when our kids could probably use some normalcy? This might be the last damn normal day we have for a while and the teachers won't be there for our kids. Because they just don't want to be.[/quote]

You’re going to blow a head gasket if you don’t calm down. Teachers don’t set the school calendar, so being off on Election Day was not their call.[/quote]
