[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just stumbled on this video promoting teleworking in MCPS.

MCPS has 1000s of employees outside of teachers who can telework because their jobs do not require in location presence. For example, why would an IT person need to report in? [/quote]

Are anyone of those 1000s of employees available for answering phones or retrieving messages on voicemail?  [/quote]

They can call in to get voicemail and they can have the calls forward to their home or cell phone.[/quote]
Or they can install Webex on their MCPS issued laptops and receive calls in real time. There is no need for office phones - all calls can be handled on a laptop. As for security issues, just make sure all employees who are teleworking log into a VPN.

Yes, I would hate to be tied to a classroom all day and lose that freedom. I do agree it sucks, but that is the nature of the job. Other office jobs can be done from home. Those jobs shouldn't be forced to work in an office just because teachers are tied to a classroom. [/quote]

Don't you see? If teachers have to go in, everybody else needs to go in so they don't feel as bad.[/quote]

The stupidity of this comment *sigh*....but I'm glad it made you feel better. [/quote]

It is really stupid that teachers get so upset when other people can work from home. They are like children who throw tantrums when someone else gets a cookie and they don't. And our policymakers give into them.[/quote]

You're just so uninformed and frankly, stupid...it's honestly sad to see someone so pathetic. Teachers don't give a sh*t who can work from home. No one is throwing tantrums other than you. You have made up this ridiculous version of teachers in your head as if its canon. Do better or get better. Or both. [/quote]

Don't worry about parents like this. Some of my kid's friends unfortunately have parents like this, so I have to interact with them. They are the parents who truly view school as babysitting and mask it as "educational deprivation" outrage...it's all theatre to make themselves feel better about being horrible parents. They need someone to blame, so teachers make the perfect scapegoats. It IS pathetic. The rest of us know this, but they don't get it. They will just keep going through life ignorantly blissful about their own shortcomings. [/quote]
