[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents just need to understand this in context. Teachers have spent many years underpaid and disrespected, and now fear that they will also be asked to double their workload and risk their health, in order to allow higher earning workers than themselves to get back to work. Try to imagine yourself in the same situation.

I am considering simply quitting if asked to do some of the things I’ve read in the report. Like many teachers, my husband is the main breadwinner. And we live with an elderly family member we don’t want to infect.[/quote]

Higher-earning workers than themselves? Plenty of teachers at least in Moco make close to 100K, and most are married to a working spouse, giving them a very decent HHI.  Where on earth do you teach that all of your parents make more than you? Private school? And who was talking about doubling a teacher’s workload?

And it’s not just about parents getting back to work. It’s about, you know, bettering the lives of children and furthering their educations. Frankly, you don’t sound like much of a teacher.[/quote]
She’s not much of a teacher? How would you know? You don’t sound like much of a parent and neither does anyone suggesting they fire educators and replace them with unqualified people desperate for a job. Parents want to go back to work so badly that they are willing to give up on any semblance of an education. It also shows how little concern they have for their family’s safety. Selfishness is not really a good quality in a parent. [/quote]
