[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hundreds of thousands of teachers have been back in the classroom since August without a vaccine. What makes MCPS teachers so special?[/quote]

Well that was their choice[/quote]

And they sound like idiots for accepting that kind of treatment.[/quote]

Even DL teachers have been chumps since last September. Many were working 14-16 hour days and spending thousands of dollars of upgrading home technology in order to do the job their employer told them to do.[/quote]

Must be nice to be able to quit your job with nothing else lined up!  [/quote]

Luckily, people still have 5 weeks and I know teachers who are interviewing during lunch and getting offers. [/quote]

If teachers have other options besides teaching in MCPS that work better for them, they should take them. Vote with your feet.[/quote]

I agree.  But in reality, we all know this is an empty threat.  This threat happened at almost every district that returned, and spoiler alert: there were enough teachers left to teach.

[b]I think any teacher that leaves for a private sector job is in for a rude awakening.  Whenever their boss tells them they are needed for a weekend.  Or whenever their job description changes.  Or whenever their benefits package changes[/b].  [/quote]
Going a bit off topic, but this probably pretty true, at least for MCPS teachers.

Most private sector jobs do not have the type of benefits and bargaining power that teachers here have.

That said, I would never want to be a teacher just because I find working with kids really hard, and I'm super grateful for those teachers who are sticking it out.  My kids (HS/MS) have had some really good teachers who seem to be trying to lift up everyone's spirits.  There are a handful, though, who seem to be just dialing it in.[/quote]
