[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s preposterous.  What happens when teachers start calling out or dying or coming down with the virus in the numbers that grocery workers etc are?  Then what?  Subs?  They aren’t gonna show up.  Who watches the kids?  Oh wait....the schools will close again but this time may reopen with dead teachers. But during this time you will be able to quietly work from home and then maybe get the virus when your kid brings it home from
School. And you won’t understand how you were so careful and still got sick.

But all the first responders definitely have to go in, right? What happens when some of them get sick? Oh, you use subs, double up shifts, half nursing coverage, etc. Just like you could for teachers.[/b] [/quote]

Exactly.  I'm a nurse.   My colleagues have been calling in sick on occasion during this crisis.  We work double shifts or 1.5 times our shifts (18 hours), we take twice the number of patients while we're working.  We get subs.

Good grief.  Teachers by in large are the whiniest professionals.  YOU FREAKING FIGURE IT OUT and you PITCH IN.   Nurses have been doing it for 2 months during this pandemic.  [/quote]

Okay you realize you’re a nurse, right? As in you chose a profession to solely centered around caring for sick people. So yeah....you have to work during a global pandemic. Imagine that! Other professionals  do not and it’s to make your job easier. We’re staying home and working from home to stop this virus. So quit crying that teachers are not working your shifts. Architects aren’t, lawyers aren’t, pharmaceutical sales reps aren’t, museum curators aren’t....i could go on and on if you’d like. It’s not because we’re all lazy...it’s because that is what is smartest right now for this city that we all live in and love. [/quote]

I know right? Calling teachers whiny when you’re whining right now? Okay. I don’t get how the ‘blame’ has been shifted towards teachers, actually I do because that’s how it’s been for a while now 😂

This is a pandemic, figure out what to do with your kids and job like I did. This is why my family has an emergency fund, so if I get called back to work as a teacher and it’s too soon I will take leave without pay no sweat. Thank goodness for that seeing all these sour and selfish attitudes.

I’m also a self-contained special education teacher, meaning my students have full time services and if they can do distance learning with some of them having behavioral and cognitive disabilities you’re saying your neurotypical children can’t deal or is it really just you can’t deal?

Arguing like this won’t help, the mayor will be coming up with the plan, not us. No use for all of us to whine and cry.   [/quote]
