[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously. I don’t see why anyone thinks teachers like this.  They want to stay home until it’s safe. They are concerned for their health. But they didn’t pick this job to l[b]ook at a screen all day[/b]. They care about kids and will get back as soon as it’s safe. [/quote]

all day?? according to this post, they are on for about 2 hours, 4 days/week[/quote]

I am on the computer WAY more than I ever have been. at the bare minimum (if I was doing no grading, lesson planning, emailing, or attending meetings), I am on the computer "in class" for three 90 minute periods 4x a week. while I won't exaggerate and say that I'm on the computer nonstop from 7am to 6pm, there are many days that I'm in front of the screen for a majority of the day, with the exception of lunch. I find one of the reasons its more draining for me to work virtually (there are many) than my husband is that, at his job, he just phones in. I'm expected to be on camera the entire time I am communicating with somebody, whether it be a student (with the camera off), a parent (with the screen off), or other faculty (the only ones who turn them on). I know other jobs are expected to be on camera so I'm not saying I'm unique, but I do think it makes a big difference in burnout. [/quote]
