[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve exercised my opinion by moving three kids to private. I’m unlike teachers I’m motivated to help kids.

If I relied on public tax dollars for my crappy salary and summers off I’d be concerned with the public’s opinion- but maybe this inability to foresee consequences is why you teach instead of do.[/quote]

This is also deeply unhealthy. 
Some of you are just so far gone. It is really sad to think about people existing and thinking this way and thinking it’s okay to talk about human beings like this. [/quote]

What’s sad is people thinking children, their lives, education and mental health matter so little, if at all. Especially those in a chosen career that is supposedly dedicated to children.[/quote]

Remote learning is ending soon. You meanwhile have squandered the last year festering in this kind of anger. It’s corrosive . You’re going to still be miserable when this ends because it’s what you’ve gotten used to clearly. [/quote]

We don’t have any guarantee yet for 5 days a week in the fall. I don’t think we can let up till we have that. [/quote]

I am going to say this once more. Get the teachers vaccinated, muzzle the FEA lady - problem solved.  Kids who don’t want to come in can get DL from a very select group of teachers, but the VAST majority of teachers come back to the building and teach in person.  Maybe people need to sign liability waivers if we can’t do the correct distancing, I don’t know, but I just don’t think it is THAT complicated at this point.[/quote]

DP, and the FCPS school board (at least) can find a way to make ANYTHING complicated. They spend their entire 7+ hour meetings talking in circles.[/quote]

I think Braband isn’t helping.  We need a stronger leader who is not trying to please all stakeholders (thereby making everyone unhappy - you think he is making teachers happy?  No, I am not happy.  Anyone whom wants to teach cannot be happy with this.). He also can’t come up with a decent and organized plan.  It is always some confusing slideshow with so many problems, it just invites our conversation happy SB with all sorts of different holes to point out. [b] I swear to God, my students could come up with a better slideshow and “plan” than he has[/b].[/quote]

This exercise has to meet many (all?) of the FCPS portrait of a graduate skills - communicator, check; collaborator, check; ethical & global citizen, check; creative & critical thinker, check; goal-directed individual, check (not so sure about resilient...maybe resilient during negotiations with classmates?) . Please go for it. I would love if my kids had this assignment, but my 1st grader's plan (she's shared it with me) is "Have everyone wear masks and do school like normal." Not quite sure if my 3rd grader could get more in depth.[/quote]
