[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers:  you are paid to do a job.  If you are upset because you have to assist with blowing noses - teaching young children is not for you.  Please, we know now how you truly feel in your heart about children.

Further - you have all of us inadequate (by yoUr standards) parents by the “proverbial” you know what’s - and for that matter, our kids’ education -
and you chose to walk.  Duly noted.

You won.  Our kids have gone 8 months without you.

Please quit.  Unemployment lines are waiting.[/quote]
This is exactly what I’m saying. I don’t want to blow Johnny’s nose (exposing myself to whatever germs making him sick) so I hate children. Got it. Enjoy blowing your own children’s noses this year, or maybe try teaching them to do it themselves. I’m so tired of being expected to mother my students and being scoffed at by parents who refuse to assist with homework, open their child’s folder, read with their child, or participate in their child’s education in any way because it’s “not their job”. I have literally had parents send in baby wipes with their fourth grader and ask me to clean their face thoroughly throughout the day. The answer is no. 
Why don’t you quit your own job? It seems like if it’s really challenging for you to wrangle one child and assist them with the academic work designed and delivered by someone else, then you probably have no business trying to manage the complexities of the working world. Unemployment lines are waiting. [/quote]

You do understand that it was a choice that you made, freely, to be a teacher?   You provide a service for which you are paid. 
You know what your job requires.  No moral or ethical judgment needs to be made.  You do your job - you get paid.  Capitalism.

Your meritless claims regarding anybody else’s job or child rearing capability do not answer the question
- why are you still teaching?[/quote]
What “meritless claim”? You are the one who keeps telling other people to quit, while complaining about how your own life is so unmanageable because you have to supervise distance learning. We’re just trying to help you.
You also chose to have children, there was never a guarantee that there would be no large scale emergency that would dramatically alter the social landscape. You’re just going to have to deal with it. [/quote]

Please bold the sentence in which I complain about DL  In any way, shape
or form.  And then hold the sentence where I complain about my kids.

Again, you chose your profession.  You get paid.  Do your job. Being paid without performing is welfare.  Accept that fact.[/quote]
