[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher who already booked a vacation for the week of the 22nd. I never take days off, but I’ve put in for a sub and will leave board games and summer reading for my kids. I wish the MCPS parents who perpetually complain could direct their vitriol at MSDE and the State Superintendent for being so unreasonable about giving waivers for extreme weather conditions.[/quote] Nah, it’s your union and MCPS that are completely inflexible. Stop blaming the state for the county’s issues. The other county’s figured it out. MCPS put zero effort in, refused to use their 3 allocated snow make up days and just wants the state to sign a form for their incompetence. [/quote] The union is not asking teachers what they want and decides for them. Stop scapegoating teachers.[/quote] You might be right that a majority of teachers would prefer to teach April 15 than June 25, but if so, they should speak out to the BOE that the union is misrepresenting them. Not just for this year but in advocating for a more rational calendar going forward.[/quote] The union is advocating to the BOE to uset he make-up days, but as you can see from the reinstatement of March 20, it is the community that they listen to, not the union.[/quote] The union is also advocating for passage of HB1084 to reduce the number of days in the calendar, because of course the union doesn’t want their teachers to actually work a full year… [/quote]
