[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ what an absolute missed opportunity. 
After being back to IPL for only a few weeks my students parents were in tears. Not because I am so great. It was because they’re kids genuinely missed school. These are incredibly well off families. The kids were in pods ect before returning. It’s not about childcare. 
When my own child returned in March it was  a night and day differ with for him. 
Teaching and schools are powerful for students. It is heartbreaking that many teachers are missing that aspect of things because they are realizing that they actually don’t like their jobs.

It has nothing to do with “liking their jobs”. It has everything to do with being continually gaslighted, demeaned, and attacked. It has to do with constantly shifting guidance that is never communicated to us before the general public. It has to do with not having a seat at the table, and being told to continually “be flexible and professional” when given impracticable guidance. Perhaps this year will be a teachable moment for communities to respect, fund, and support schools and their employees. If not, I expect there to be greater and greater challenges attracting and retaining educators. Children and families will suffer. It’s preventable, but people would rather lash out in anger.[/quote]
