[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind them being paid. But it seems like teachers just don't understand what the rest of us are going through either being laid off or working full time plus telework.

[b]I think they should have to work in the summer if this ends in June. July and August could be 2 months of instruction.[/b][/quote]
Agree... Kids will be so behind.[/quote]

I agree that adding time in the summer could make sense. MCPS also had a 2 week emergency closure where everyone was paid and no work going on. MCPS administrators could have been figuring out distance learning the first week and getting teachers up to speed on training the 2nd week. I personally think we should cancel spring break and have classes continue. Nobody is going anywhere mid-April.

I have high school and middle school-aged kids. My high schooler has had one teacher that has kept up assignments and learning since the start of this. I know of other high school teachers that have continued to teach as well. Teachers are getting a raw deal, with being expected to ramp up distance learning with no training (and for some at the ES level, no training on a new curriculum). This is par for the course with MCPS. Bad administration and planning trickling down to make teachers the bad guys.[/quote]
