[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The irony that they blame the teachers and the teachers union but then want MORE from the teachers to catch their kids up. And then put in someone who wants to cut taxes but "invest" in Education mmmk.

"Youngkin has sourced much of his fiscal agenda from Stephen Moore, a[u] writer and TV commentator [/u]who advised former President Donald Trump on his signature tax legislation, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Moore, a proponent of supply-side economics, also helped shape a set of deep tax cuts that former Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback implemented in 2013, promising a host of benefits for the state's economy. The cuts quickly devastated Kansas' budget, and the legislature overturned them in 2017."

Stop needing so much from the school system and expecting teachers to do all of the heavy lifting. Kids are only in their care for max 8 hours. There are 16 other hours in the day. If you want more help for your kids you need to vote for community based programs. The school can be a place that they are implemented but teaching staff are NOT the answer. Just like cops are not the answer to crisis calls for mental health. Those should be mainly supported by community based grassroots programs that have staff available and trained including SW and Psychiatrists. Cops need to focus on crime. Being mentally ill is not a crime.

"School isn't childcare" is a failing platform.[/quote]

It ISNT. It cant be childcare AND education. Teachers are hired to instruct/teach not care for like infants who need everything done for them. They are not your kids therapists, mentors, social problem solvers, testing coordinator, bodyguard, lunch lady. By care I meant " in school".

Teachers should not be the catch all for all of society's issues with rearing children. Let them focus on EDUCATING your children and then have aides, etc. to do the other parts of their care.

You guys are arguing different points, I think.  Yeah, probably schools need more resources for the various roles we put teachers in.  However, the "school isn't childcare" tirade was used to suggest that teachers could deliver education via Zoom (and that in-person school was unnecessary for education).

So yeah, probably schools need more and varied resources that allow teachers to focus on education, and perhaps there need to be resources outside of school to help kids with various needs, but kids and families also need in-person school for education and so that parents can work.[/quote]
