[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember 2020 and 2021 like yesterday. I remember reading [b]" lazy teachers playing games on zoom for 3 hours with kids while collecting a check.", "They owe us money for the time they took away from our children as we pay their salaries.", "They are too concerned about COVID to consider the harm they are doing to our child.", " Get your shot and get your ass back in the classroom and teach.", "But the front line workers...", " [/b] The lady writing the principal about a teacher having her "bratty" daughter in the background while teaching like teacher's do not have kids. " Well, then just leave. We will hire somebody off the street who can do a full day's work for less than these entitled overpayed teachers" All of these things and more were said. They were mean. Hurtful. Unwarranted. I could feel the hate seething from these posts. You can go search the threads if you want to. So, the teacher's left. They did NOT forget. Now you want to sing a different tune after having your life upended by Omicron in January. Now, suddenly you are worried about your kid having to double up with other teacher's classes and worried about a shortage which means your precious snowflake will be in a class double the size next year. These teacher's are leaving the profession or workplace. Some are married to high earners and have opted to stay home with you know, their children. Those little creatures they love so much. They are not coming back ever. [/quote]

I remember these comments.  Most of the comments came from "Karens" and the rabid in-person-at-all-costs crowd (Central Office, bosses that wanted their employees back to work, people worried about losing their home and needed school to be their daycare, etc.).

I agree that teacher's can't win.  They need supports as much as the children do.[/quote]

The 1+ year of virtual is at the heart of a lot of this. Blame whoever made that jack*ss decision. [/quote]

The only jack*sses are the ones in charge who are pointing fingers instead of solving problems.

The board was all-or-nothing (no hybrid; only remote or in-person with no options in-between).  CO had no plan to deal with spikes once back in school.  The federal covid money was supposed to help teachers, be spent on classrooms, make schools safer, provide supports for the children and help fund supports to help those kids that ran wild.  Instead the covid money was spent on discrimination training, bocce ball, kid museum.  It's sad.  Now the teachers are leaving.  CO and board blame the parents.  Parents will complain even more to the teachers. The teachers resent the parents and children they're supposed to teach.

MCPS needs to get back to basics.  If there aren't enough teachers, then the CO needs to shut down and staff open positions.  Maybe then they'll cut out the games and pocket-lining to get serious about supporting classrooms.[/quote]

Yes, they kept us safe during a difficult time. I know some people want to pretend it wasn't a big deal but over a million Americans have died so they were clearly wrong.

Sure, a few Uberkerens were upset because having kids home cramped their style but these tough choices kept the spread down and saved many lives.[/quote]
