[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS teachers never refused to show up for work.  As requested we are all in person right now or we have an exemption provided by federal law, or have taken UNPAID leave (so not doing our job but also not going to get paid).  That small group of teachers who are taking unpaid leave are doing APS a favor right now by continuing to teach students until substitutes can be hired, or the end of the year, whichever comes first.  If your child has a teacher who is in this position, you should be THANKFUL because the alternative is a sub without the knowledge your teacher has. Guess what- unemployed teachers and substitutes aren't lining up for these jobs!! Surprise.

I don't see how you would say that any APS teachers refused to come in to work. We worked from home as APS decided until APS decided we should come in person, and we did. You are blaming teachers for the district's plan that you are unhappy with. Teachers are doing what is asked of us. Teachers also have a right to voice concerns while also meeting the in-person requirements of our job, as we are. The teacher blaming is really unfounded.[/quote]
I think people fail to realize that there are teachers who are still refusing to teach in person and principals who are allowing this.  Not temporary.  Not unpaid leave.  No ADA.  My kid's fully vaccinated teachers say they are scared, so my 7 yo gets her in person instruction on an iPad.  APS has no actual policy, so it is up to principal discretion.  There are 100% teachers who are still refusing to teach in person and APS is enabling them.[/quote]
Would you prefer your child have a string of long-term subs who don’t have lesson plans?  That’s the issue APS is facing with teachers who won’t return to in-person teaching - accommodating the teachers isn’t a great solution, but firing them isn’t necessarily a better option.[/quote]

this is an APS administration problem. They have enabled this to happen. The SB and Duran are a complete failure. Thank goodness a few of them are finally standing up for the students. No other profession would allow this ridiculousness to happen without consequences. [/quote]
