[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't with teachers and FCPS employees anymore.  It's not perfect out there but you can absolutely get to work!  Schools are clear. Roads are getting to be mostly cleared. Highways are cleared.  Please just be an adult![/quote]

Yeah, I think you’re really underestimating how bad driving conditions are right now for many people .

I don’t think it’s a matter of just employees getting to work.  It’s about whether schools can safely handle “rush hours” for busses, pedestrians, students, AND employees.   As of now, not all schools in the county are ready.[/quote]

I am not talking about kids being in school. Talking about teachers whining about going to work this week for PD[/quote]

Teachers complain about PDs because they are truly *that* bad.  If you ever have the misfortune to attend one, you would understand why it is an experience that makes teachers feel very jaded and cynical about education, as well as angry at administrators who are wasting valuable teaching time in order to stage a performance that “justifies” administrative jobs that should be eliminated.  For this PD, teachers must drive to a different school - not their own school.  Some would need to travel across the entire county.  So, it’s a super inconvenient PD in less than desirable driving conditions.

Plus, some of my colleagues are still snowed/iced in.

Luckily, my school has a good principal who truly cares about the well-being of her faculty, and she has provided us with a virtual option for fulfilling the PD criteria.[/quote]
