[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]THANK YOU parent above!! Teacher here who pushed for reopening ASAP last year and voluntarily went back early. It’s been a hell of a year and the teacher hate has added to the toll a lot. We are indeed being asked to do more than ever and support students who NEED more than ever. It’s been really really hard. Your support means more than you’ll ever know. ❤️[/quote]

I have written this before but I truly adore and am so grateful for my daughter’s teachers. [b]I am devastated by the lasting impact of the isolation and failure to met her extra needs during the pandemic and it’s hard to describe the impact of that without making it sound like I blame her teachers [/b]who I truly care about and want to support. I think many families are feeling both things and I certainly don’t have a perfect solution for going forward. I personally would be happy to give all teachers a huge raise, maybe that would help some with recruiting back teachers who have left. [/quote]

What does that have to do with her teachers?

With schools closed she did not receive any of the services she was entitled to in a manner she could access and her IEP was rewritten to a virtual format that made it useless. So I am frustrated schools were closed sooooo much longer than necessary and I do blame local teachers unions en masse for that, although not individuals of course. All of our friends and family in NY and CT were able to have at least some school for the elementary school kids because they prioritized the youngest learners and other kids who have trouble accessing virtual school.
