[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.[b] It’s not about childcare. [/b]
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.

Maybe not for you but it is for my students. I teach in another MD district and my students are in-person every day except one where we are doing virtual learning at home. Many parents who originally signed up their kids for in-person learning changed their minds when they found out school was only 4 days a week in person. They said they wouldn't be able to find someone to babysit them once a week so they dropped out. Every week, I have a parent asking me when school will be in person every day because they don't have anyone to watch their kids that one day per week. School is most definitely child care for many of my students. I even have students telling me "My mom says I don't have to do that (online) work." I have students who haven't done any work all year.[/quote]
