[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IRL, I think there's a lot of respect for teachers, as there is for other public employees, but the hyperbole on threads like these is annoying.

It's like the obnoxious representatives from the teachers' groups who tried to get local schools closed indefinitely, insisted on being the first in line to get Covid-19 vaccinations but then fought not to return to their classrooms, once back in the classrooms moved on to complain incessantly about kids' behavior and lack of socialization and academic progress (gee, wonder how that happened), and then whined about not getting paid enough again without skipping a beat.

If you're tired, we're flat-out exhausted.  Do you think the past few years were easy for the rest of us? [/quote]

If my kid acts unsocialized, I do not blame the pandemic or teacher, I blame myself. If my kid misbehaves, I do not blame the pandemic or school, I blame myself. My kids struggled a little bit when we first started virtual learning, but that lasted about two weeks before we squelched that behavior. Parenting and accountability works.

Of course the past few years have been hard on all of us, but that doesn't mean I don't feel bad for what teachers are having to deal with in their classrooms. Parents blaming the pandemic for their kids' misbehavior is ridiculous. We are three years past shutdown, so if your kids are still having behavioral issues, that's a reflection on you, not the school or the global pandemic.

+1, for those families who chose in-person, we have been back in schools for OVER 2 years. Move on. If your child is I’ll-behaved that is the parents’ fault.[/quote]
