[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remote teaching can be outsourced to teachers in other parts of the country.

I'm honestly surprised this was not considered.

If the teachers make themselves too "precious" next thing you know the school board can hire teachers from out of state to teach the remote classes.

Many teachers in other parts of the country work for a lot less pay.[/quote]

This is one of the stupidest comments I've ever heard.

The first issue is that most of the people who refuse to go back to work are refusing to go back to in person work not remote

Second, why would a teacher working in North Carolina who is making 30k switch to teaching remote for the promise of making 32k in carroll county  they know that their colleagues who are teaching in person are making 38k? [/quote]

It's really not.  Remote teaching could be outsourced to India!  There's no reason why it has to be the same teacher in the same county.

Teachers unions might be overplaying their hands.[/quote]

So you would fire all the teachers for refusing to go back to in person, replace them with teachers from India and then how do you get everyone to go back in person?

As has been discussed before, it would make for a difficult year.  Any teachers that do not resign would be sent back to the classroom, and remote teachers would take over distance learning classes (since we know 30-50% of kids would stay home).  It wouldn't be easy, but the districts would be better off in the long-term without the teachers that have refused to do their jobs.

But when faced with the prospect of losing their income without unemployment eligibility, I think the vast majority of teachers would return.[/quote]
