[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait till Wash. Post (or others) learn of the FB post about the APS teacher who let her kids out of class at 11 am and assigned asynchronous work for the next day because she's at Disney World.

There are some unknowns here, but the optics and hypocrisy are terrible. APS won't let our kids return to class, but it's OK to [b]allow teachers to vacation[/b] in Disney and assign asynchronous work? [/quote]

Why not? For all we know the teacher is willing to teach F2F. That teacher didn’t make the decision to work remotely. If she has the leave to use she can use it. If you see a teacher at the gym or eating at a restaurant off school hours are you going take issue and give them a hard time? [/quote]

DP.  I'm sure going to think it.
I was a classroom teacher and when I first started teaching I had one break per day for 20 minutes.  No lunch break--had to eat with the kids.  Music and Art, we had to stay in the classroom because the specialists needed help.  The 20 minutes was a PE class which the kids had every day.  If she was out, we had no break at all.

But, years later, as a SAHM, I did run into a neighbor who was a full time teacher while I was out shopping.  She was an itenerant teacher and she told me that her student had not shown up that day, so she just took off to go shopping.  I couldn't help but think she could have given some extra time to another student.

But, no.  Teachers should not be at Disney when they are supposed to be working [b]unless they took personal leave[/b].  And, if she is giving assignments, then she is likely being paid to be working.  I'd be very troubled by that.

PP here. I teach ES for FCPS. Did you read all that I wrote? I said, “if she has the leave to use”. Of course she shouldn’t be at Disney without taking leave.

Where did you work that you only had a 20 minute break and ate lunch with the students? Private school?
