[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sense I get is that the teachers union is just trying to run out the clock on this school year.  They're not really interested in what is best for the children or their families.[/quote]

They want tp get to their summer vacations. Now that they are all vaccinated and well rested from being in their homes, they are all set to travel.[/quote]

I’m an APS teacher.  None of us are “well rested” this year.  What a stupid, ignorant remark.  This year has been hell on earth.  I wake up at 6, and work until 8 or 9 every night. I have my own family and kids to take care of on top of it.   If this wasn’t temporary, I would leave my chosen profession, because a job that was already demanding is now off the charts.  And then there’s people like you.   I am so glad that my students’ parents have been supportive.  You should be ashamed of yourself.  I am definitely looking forward to summer, which means I will have survived this, and can go back to a normal fall.  This concurrent stuff is not remotely fun for us, and we are really trying our best.

SO disparaging, to imagine anyone could think like this.[/quote]

They don’t have a clue. Probably don’t even work themselves or have an easy WFH job so they assume everyone’s job is easy if it’s WFH. I have never felt lower and more defeated than teaching online at home between November / January. Like, I was looking for other jobs. That’s how awful it was. If we ever go DL again I don’t think I can stay. It was awful. And they think we were chillin at home and well rested lmao. I will teach all day in person with unvaccinated kids before I ever do DL again .[/quote]

Well that’s all anyone is asking. Full time in person school for those who want it. That’s it. I’m sorry that people are calling it a “vacation” for teachers, I know that’s largely not true. But there are definitely some vocal teachers who are putting in the bare minimum and getting used to the lazy Covid lifestyle and really advocating AGAINST returning. So that’s where some of this criticism is coming from. If it doesn’t apply to you don’t take it personally. [/quote]

Republican talking points that don’t even make any sense in VA. Lame.[/quote]

Full time in person school is a Republican talking point now? That’s sad. I remember when Democrats were the party of supporting public schools. Do you?[/quote]

The local Democrat platform is essentially keep everybody home and strive for equitable mediocrity.[/quote]
