[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS teacher of 10 years here - and I am beyond embarrassed by how outraged my colleagues are acting. I am actually happy about the switch to Blue Cross Blue Shield. In previous jobs I've held, insurance carriers have switched, and it hasn't been a big deal. Everyone saying they need days and days off to search for new doctors is beyond ridiculous. I watched the school board comments and I cringed. A small group of APS teachers act so outraged over EVERYTHING and they give the rest of us a bad reputation. Just want people to know we aren't all this crazy. And the people who speak at school board meetings (including one very vocal teacher) - DO NOT represent the majority of teachers in APS. [/quote]

+1, thank you. Between this and the FCPS phishing test debacle at the end of last year, it appears many of your colleagues are just completely out of touch with and tone deaf to things that have been a reality in the corporate and nonprofit worlds for some time.

I sympathize with the struggle and that things may seem overwhelming right now, but it is what it is. If people want to burn their PTO days on appointments, then they can do that. I realize we are in a sub shortage but people are entitled to their PTO. Everyone else that doesn’t want to burn PTO can schedule before or after hours, or on the multitude of days off APS has and that doctors all work. This includes just about every weekday that is not New Years Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Labor Day, or Memorial Day, and many practices offer Saturday hours now too. [/quote]
