[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line is: teachers needs to get vaccinated and get back to school and teach our kids. No more excuses and BS. I am a single Mom, working full time from home, and I am not my kids' teacher. It's impossible to work from home and supervise my two ES kids at the same time. How long do you teachers want to stay home and teach via DL? Like forever? It has been more than a year now. How are working parents supposed to work and not go crazy? Do teachers who do not want to go back to teach at school even care about the kids' development and mental health? C'mon ! [/quote]

Yes, I am not a teacher. My kind of work is such that I can 100% do it from home. In fact, I can be sitting anywhere in the world and do it. Does not make a difference. Teaching ES kids is not that kind of work. ES Teachers need to be in school, teaching young kids. Just like doctors/ nurses/ bus drivers/ garbage people/ cashiers can not do their work from home, right? Why on earth would teachers be at risk once they are vaccinated? Please give me the reasons, and they better be good ones. Why are you trying to twist this about "my convenience"? Are you out of your mind? Don't you understand that this has a domino effect on society? Parents are not able to work and take care of their kids, we are not teachers. Teaching is a profession. Parents are getting mentally ill, and can take care of their kids even less. Kids are getting mental health issues. Kids are falling behind. Being out of school for 1.5-2 years is a big deal. So, don't make this about "my convenience". [/quote]

Millions of Americans are working from home this year in jobs that previously were thought "couldn't " be done remotely.  It turns out in a pandemic, yes, they can.

You not liking, approving of r agreeing with DL is not teachers' problem, but yours.  Nobody has been "out of school" for 1-2 years, because education is not buildings.

And the claim that parents are "getting mentally ill" from taking care of their own children and the bogus manipulative "but suicide!" cards are disgusting and pathetic.[/quote]

I 100% believe that there are parents who are mentally ill as a result of spending 24/7 with their own kids. It used to drive middle class married white women into depression in the 1950s and ‘60s. Now their granddaughters are experiencing the same thing and think no one cares. It’s not that no one cares. It’s that mental health care is available now in a way it wasn’t mid-century and you need to exhaust that before you start demanding other people (mostly women, often less well-off than you, and sometimes POC) risk their lives so you don’t need to take an antidepressant or tell your DH to share parenting duties.[/quote]
