[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You are 1000% wrong. Money doesn't make teachers safer. In-person learning will not "sacrifice" teachers' lives. Asking for in-person learning is not for my "comfort". There is plenty of disdain and vitriol from teachers. Expecting a safe return to schools is not a reflection of "parenting issues". It is in the best interest of a child's dedication. Child suicides are a direct result of forced virtual learning. Teachers and the entire system are complicit and are to blame.[/b]

I am 100 % correct.  The money I am referring to is stimulus and  recompense for added burdens,  lost jobs, lost  business, lost time, lost  pay.

Yes, putting teachers in school  does indeed threaten their  lives.  What bubble do you live  in that informed you regarding teacher illness and death? Check  out Iowa.

Yes,  it is for YOUR COMFORT,  because  you  clearly are unable to manage this  crisis.  There are many,  many workarounds. You will not  have plan A in a pandemic,   maybe not even B. Understand that things absolutely cannot be what you want. Things will not be the way they were.

Child suicides are absolutely not from not being in school. I am sure that  many a mental health crisis has occured as a result of this pandemic,  and  the reasons are multiple, but the crisis is independent of  your narrow focus. A parent  may say a kid was depressed in not seeing his friends,  but there  will be no mention of the parent  depression  of managing kids,  work, illness, and lost pay as contributions.  Not to mention a parent *who  cannot adapt  to change.* A teacher should not have to sacrifice his or her life as a remedy for a real  situational crisis that will affect everyone.  The teacher also likely has a job and kids.

You have zero knowledge of any personal circumstance yet choose to  politicize SUICIDE,  yeah-even suicide,  to make  your point- which is disturbing and despicable.  What the  hell did you attribute child suicide to before virtual learning? Mental health issues have always  been pervasive in children's lives.  Ironically,  some of them  stemmed from incidents in school.  Yet,  why not stretch this for your own benefit?  I see that while you point out suicide as a result of virtual  learning,  you don't even consider the definite possibility of death from COVID in the return from face to face learning. So, you don't get to decide why people die as well as who dies. In a pandemic,  thousands upon  thousands will die.  We have only some control there.

Vitriol against parents  from  teachers? Yes, of course.  
You have just illuminated  the "why" here. You are an example of the absolute worst.
Here's my suggestion.  Get some help...mental and physical.  Find a pod to work  with. Get some assistance with your children.  Help others if you have resources.

I certainly hope the return to the building will not happen. But since it appears to be likely,  get ready for  virtual  learning by April again.

You can choose to be a help in this world, or you can choose to be a hinderance. [/quote]

This is a wild but telling rant.

This lunatic needs to be doxed and not allowed to re-enter a classroom..[/quote]

There's no lunacy here,  from what I can see. But- what kind of lunatic parent vilifies teachers up and  down,  expects them to shoulder all risk,  trolls various websites, this  forum, etc , and then places their kids in rooms with the very people they've denigrated non stop. That is what lunacy is.  You hate these people, but, "Pluueeeze take my kids off my hands!"

If it weren't so sad,  it would  be funny. [/quote]

X 1 trillion[/quote]

Like really. It's ridiculous. I hate you, you're the worst person in the world, you're the downfall of society... Now take my kid for 8 hours a day.[/quote]

What I think you’re missing is how many of us who are moderately liberal and HATE Betsy DeVos, but are saying [b]we don’t trust teachers in general[/b] or FCPS at all  any more and want vouchers and more private competition so we can find educational options we do have faith in.  My kid is in 10th and likely stuck halfway though high school. If they were younger, they’d be out. But, like a lot of families, we’ve been stuck wishing private had been an option. And would feel a lot better if it were an option going forward.

A lot of institutions and businesses innovated because they had to.  My federal agency, with Trump actively trying to destroy telework (and the DP federal government in general), was finally been dragging kicking and screaming into 2021 and has been creative and flexible in ways that have left me stunned. All of a sudden, the dumb rules disappeared, and it became “we have people who must be served, for whom we are a housing/ eviction, food/ starvation, medical care/ death resource.  We have no choice but to make this work.” So we did.  A year in I’m so proud of what we’ve done. It wasn’t pretty at first. We made mistakes. We hit speed bumps. But we did it. A year in, our metrics show that we are doing a much better job than we were a year ago.  Think about it.  The federal government not just kept functioning, but in my little corner got better, being manned by people who were also monitoring 2nd grade.

Privates and many publics found a way.   No one told FCPS they had to find a way, so they did the easy thing and failed.  It was hard. It was uncomfortable. So, they didn’t.  All parents, not just the wealthy, should have a different choice. And vouchers frees up the money to make it happen. That’s how I vote going forward.  FCPS needs to be held accountable. Free up a billion dollars in schools funds, and watch charters hold them accountable. They may not care about kids. They care a lot about per pupil funding. [/quote]

You want to hold teachers accountable for decisions they didn’t make. My DW and I have been ready to teach in person since July. My employer, the school board, decided to keep my students at home.[/quote]

Everyone knows that the ADA dump forced FCPS’s hand. That was a coordinated job action. That’s on the teachers. Maybe not all teachers.  But several thousand. [/quote]

Not several thousand, less than a couple thousand. About 15% of the staff. At least 85% of us are set and ready to go.[/quote]

How many will be out due to ADA? Is it 15%? I am at a large ES and I know of one person out of the building with ADA.[/quote]
