Many teachers want to teach from home so they can watch their own kids.  School administrators must remind teachers that they will have to make child care arrangements while they're on the clock.  Child care is the responsibility of teachers and they should have thought of that before having kids.[/quote]

The parents that want schools to open to act as childcare while they work (at home or office) should have thought of that before having kids too. [/quote]

That's why all teachers must teach DL from inside the school building, not from home.  They can't berate parents for wanting child care but then also say it's OK for them to interrupt DL every 5 minutes so they can change their own baby's diapers.  Can't have it both ways![/quote]

Couldn’t the teacher teach from home and arrange care for the infant? Why would the teacher have to go into the building?[/quote]

No, teachers need to be in the building.  There was a NYT article on how teachers groups are pushing to limit DL because some teachers are "embarrassed" to teach from home or have too many other distractions like child care.  Teaching from school would solve that.[/quote]

^^  Also, DL should not double as child care for teachers.[/quote]

How is it doubling for child care of the teacher arranges for someone to watch the child?[/quote]

Most teachers will not be hiring a nanny.  Dream on.  That's why teaching from school building is essential.[/quote]
I hope all parents working from home while their child does DL have also hired nannies. Your work from home job shouldn't be your childcare, either, since you think it's so unprofessional. [/quote]

I never advocated for this but plenty of teachers did.  For months now teachers have relentlessly shamed parents that "school is not child care," "parents must hate their children and want to kill teachers," and "every parent is responsible for their own child care or else they should not have had kids."  It is only fair that these teachers now live by the same standard they set for everyone else.[/quote]
...except they would be caring for their OWN children so I’m not sure how you think that proves your point. [/quote]

Unless they're sending them to daycare.  I know several who are doing that, and have been on vacations this summer, yet are scared to go back to school.  My neighbor, who's a teacher, was an anxious mess when this all started, freaking out about her asthma and whether it was safe to get takeout.  Now this summer they've been to the DE shore, flew out west and drove around to National parks, and then immediately brought her youngest back to daycare when they got back.  And has been posting about not wanting to go back to school all summer long.  I know that most teachers are NOT like this but seriously, WTF.[/quote]

I have seen multiple teachers on my Facebook feed who are "so scared" to go back who have taken multiple beach trips with family/friends and have been sending their own kids to camp/preschool/daycare and letting them play with other kids. They want to take the risks on things that are enjoyable for them or make their lives easier, but not for their jobs. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone had that luxury?[/quote]

If there is a tiny silver lining to this whole mess, it has been that people are starting to realize what a complete joke the average public school teacher truly is. [/quote]
So keep your kids home and do us all a favor. [/quote]

Like I would trust my kids to you idiots[/quote]
Trust me, you and your kids will not be missed. [/quote]
