[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sad thing is that the teachers who are leaving the teaching profession are the ones who are best at it. Every veteran teacher I know is halfway out the door. A big part of it is that they don't trust the families in their schools to take COVID seriously.[/quote]

I’m intrigued.  Do the veteran teachers care about kids whose parents have to work in person? Do they argue that people who don’t quit their jobs if their jobs are in person aren’t taking COVID seriously?  I know that sounds like a gotcha asshole question, but I have known people that suggest that parents should do that to help teachers.

Also....like really?  It kind of sounds like teachers don’t want to be around the poors.[/quote]

You're missing the point.  You think they're making a choice about the children.  They're making a choice about themselves.  Teachers leaving their jobs have decided that their health is more important than your child's education.  That's their right to make that choice.  You can care about your child's education but you shouldn't expect someone else to care more about it than their own health and safety.

I would make the same choice as them and I am a parent.  I am capable of understanding that my personal health is more important than some other person's child's education.[/quote]

If you are making this argument now, you're about 10 months too late. But if you were slow to understand the implications of accepting your contract of employment this year, by all means, decline the new one for the next school year if it is offered to you.[/quote]
