[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say this.  This entire experience has really opened my eyes to what parents think of me. I work in a JKLM and have always worked hard to provide the best experience and education to my students and parents.  I can’t believe some of the things parents are saying about teachers in an anonymous forum.  It hurts my heart and makes me feel that you really don’t respect me at all as a professional and a person.  I won’t forget this treatment when we go back to school.  I will always remember what you actually think of me when you aren’t in front of my face. [/quote]

JKLM teacher here.  We are their babysitters and they are over dealing with their own children.  Many of them have rarely met a problem they couldn't just throw money at.[/quote]

Nice to know how shallow, uninformed, and self-centered you both are. This is a major issue and not about "dealing with our own children." Many of us have had been laid off or had to give up income because our children are not at school. It's lovely how you were paid 100% to stay home all winter and spring. And that you still have all your benefits, retirement and other add-ons. And then you sit and point fingers at how we are not respecting you.

So sorry your job is now asking you to show up - mine has been asking that of its employees since April, for those who aren't already fired. [/quote]

This is exactly the point. Rather than just make a statement you had to add in how uninformed, shallow and self centered we are. There is no reason for name calling. We don’t allow it from our children and we shouldn’t allow it from ourselves. That goes for parents and teachers.  [/quote]

It's not name calling; it's a description evidenced by the posts. Name calling would be to lump you into a group, institution, or negative concept. Regardless, you must see that saying "they are over dealing with their children" is just baloney, and as much name calling as what I posted.

Here's what we need to do:

1) Survey teachers on:
Who is willing to be in person
Will not be in person regardless of the plan
Would be willing to be in person if a better health plan was in place

Also ask the parents the same thing- not based on preferences but on what they expect they will do.

Then work from there.
