[quote=Anonymous][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 do any protests, but I was diagnosed with cancer and my immune system found to be in very bad shape during this past school year. And even once I had two shots, I didn’t develop immunity. I could have died if I was in person at my school because we had week after week of cases there. And most of our in person students are not vaccinated. My doctor had me placed on leave when schools reopened in person. [/quote]

It sounds like the system worked for you since you went on leave. It didn't work for the thousands of 5 year olds that essentially missed kindergarten. There's so much talk about the importance of funding pre-K yet we're told missing K is totally fine and CHILDREN ARE RESILIENT? WTAF.[/quote]

At my school a lot of families were counseled to have thier child repeat a grade if they had not mastered the content and there's a plan to do a lot of targeted remediation for students can catch up (so having the kids who are behind work with one teacher or para while the on grade level kids work with their teacher).

When I was a kid we learned how to cut and paste in kindergarten and I didn't learn to read until first grade. I'm doing just fine. [/quote]

Its kinda sad no one at home took the time to work with these kids.[/quote]

A lot of my students speak English as a second language and I know their parents were doing the best that they could to help their children. Students need more thank fake sympathy, they need support[/quote]
