[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's always something with teachers. First during COVID many teachers unions refused to reopen schools, even after vaccines became widely available. The learning loss to our kids was immense. Now it's shifted to pay, even with many teachers making $80k+, solid benefits and oodles of vacation. And tomorrow it's going to be about some other perceived slight. Other workers take pride in their profession and just focus on getting the job done, but with teachers the whining just never ends. :roll: [/quote]

Cute.

Perhaps you can look at this “whining” as legitimate frustrations about this profession. Look all over DCUM at the professionals who, to this very day, have not gone into the office because of Covid. At the height of the pandemic, it was absolutely appropriate for teachers to worry about exposure in Petri dish schools. They rebounded and found solutions. I was amazed by my daughter’s middle school English teacher, who taught Shakespeare online in such an engaging way. Teachers became innovative and made the best out of a bad situation. They came out of Covid to understaffed schools, so they are now doing the job of 2 for no increase in pay. They are disrespected at every single possible turn, but they will still work nights and weekends for kids other than their own.

I’ve said it before on this thread. We are going to hit crisis mode and then, too late, we will realize what we lost. Teachers are done being martyrs.[/quote]
