[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only solution here that I see if for MCPS to increase the teacher's and aides summer  sign on bonus so that our kids have a safe place to be for the summer and have social interaction. School is a kind of community village where mostly everyone takes parts either in taxes or uses the free public school services. Many families cannot go back to work until school has been figured out.

If the union is asking MCPS to give teachers more money I don't see why that cannot happen. ughhh!!!!

I thought they were broke as is.[/quote]

I am so sick of MCPS. They can find money for fru fru stuff but not enough money so that we can have schools open and teachers/staff that want to come back?!!!!

If they cannot get staff they need to increase the summer money or whatever the staff is demanding. As other people have mentioned there is a teacher shortage, NOW.IS.NOT.THE.TIME. for the county to be in a fight with teachers when the rest of us need schools to be open for summer and fall.

Money was not why we didn't return.  COVID was.  We don't NEED schools open in person, you want them open.  We need to have our kids get an education.  There is nothing in the rules that says it has to be in person.  Teachers did what they were told.  They were told to DL.  They didn't have the choice so stop blaming them.[/quote]

Am I the only one who remembers teachers screaming on PAGES facebook page and her and on twitter and on the MCPTA facebook page about how they will die of COVID if schools open? I also remember teachers organizing a drive in rally protesting returning to school and causing traffic jams on Rockville pike. It was MCEA and teachers who obstructed the return to school last July and this entire year. Not MCPS. [/quote]

I didn't follow those pages but it was a select few.  As a parent I am thankful MCEA stood up to protect our kids and families and many of us wanted to continue DL through the school year.  Stop blaming the teachers.  Clearly there was more support for virtual than in person given the rallies.  [/quote]

No MCEA did not protect our families. Private schools were open all year with minimal to no cases and no deaths.Our kids are behind academically, our kids took AP exams online and could not go back to change an answer, our kids missed out on social interactions, our kids were stuck at home with stressed out parents for a year. It’s all on MCEA and since MCEA represents teachers, it’s on teachers.[/quote]

No, your kids are behind.  Mine did well this year.  Mine got plenty of socialization, it just looked different.  If your kids are miserable at home, that is your fault.  Not mcps.  We were not stressed and enjoyed the time together.  You not being able to handle your kids is on you, not others.  I am glad mine were home.   Privates were irresponsible. [/quote]

Well, good luck with the VA next year then. You're no longer anybody else's problem here any more. Go do your thing.[/quote]
