[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because those conferences should happening right now, like they have every other year.  These kids are basically getting a full week off of school. I thought they were really concerned about catching kids up from last year.  That week is now a wash.[/quote]

Right now they should be more concerned with teacher burnout. It's real. And while other surrounding counties are doing things to accommodate the mental health and well-being of their teachers, MCPS is piling on more responsibility. [/quote]

Is this for real?  What do you think burnout is like in other professions?  Nurses, truck drivers, law enforcement, retail, restaurant workers?  Anyone who has been working in person during this pandemic.  Are teachers somehow more ‘special’?

And for many, including myself, it was exponentially harder than coming into school.

And having no job at all was exponentially harder than losing one and not being able to find a new stable safe one at a similar salary.  You kept your job, benefits, seniority, retirement, etc.

I can’t believe teacher do not understand how unbelievably privileged they were to work remotely, keep working thru the pandemic, and get prioritized access to vaccination.
