[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers are allowed to value their health more than some random kid's education.  Something is wrong with a teacher if the teacher values a kid's education more than their own health.  Give it a rest, angry parents.  Get some therapy, develop a value system, and start to realize that it isn't all about you.

I agree! If a teacher isn't comfortable teaching in person despite being prioritized for vaccines, then she needs to find a different career. [/quote]
Then who will teach the children? Places are desperate for teachers, look on the careers page for the counties. They are trying to lure back retired teachers. All these flippant remarks that teachers should just quit or be fired are so ridiculous. [/quote]

Yes, but the nasty comments make the entitled parents FEEEL so good when they type them and helps them pretend to have power, and really, that's what's important.[/quote]
Yep![/quote]

We got schools open this year.  We have put a lot of pressure on FCPs to get some kids back 4 days.  We got the SB passed requiring 5 days a week, in person, with a real love teacher, not an ADA slacker.  We will vote for Governor this fall and schools will be a huge issue.  We’ve had a lot of people do a 180 on vouchers and charter schools.  We’ve put a lot of pressure on the NoS not to give teachers raises.  And down the line, bonds go through us.

So yes, we have some power.   Show up in person in August and teach 5 Das a week from your classroom to a full class of kids. Or be fired. No more monitors and ADA. We did that.  [/quote]
And, once again, I will ask you who is going to replace the teachers? Look, I agree that schools should be open, I am in MCPS and am happy to be back. But all these “fire the teachers”  and “these teachers all need to quit” is totally tone deaf and, quite frankly, idiotic. [/quote]

[b]Teachers have been holding us hostage with threats to quit for a full year.[/b]  And frankly, they are no good to us at home are being paid double what a virtual teacher makes.  Maybe they will quit  And maybe the replacements won’t be great. But, if it’s going to happen, we are just kicking the can down the road.  If they are going to quit when they have to go back, they are going to quit. We can’t go on another full year like this. Because teachers will still be threatening to quit. I’m over the threats. Put up so we have time to plan. Or STFU. [/quote]

We are a two teacher (ES) household and I think you ware way overestimating the number of teachers who have threatened to quit. Neither of us can think of anyone we know who has actually threatened to quit over the prospect of teaching in person. If anything they are thinking of quitting because of DL and/or concurrent instruction.[/quote]

Anyone with common sense knows teachers have no say and most are going back.  Those that are quitting have health issues, family issues or are scared and that's perfectly fine given COVID.  If parents don't like it, they can step up and become teachers since they think they can do it better.  Or better, homeschool.[/quote]

I'm a teacher too and I actually do know someone who quit. I found it incredibly privileged to be able to quit their job in the middle of a pandemic. I'm happy to be employed and not, thus far, financially impacted by COVID.[/quote]
