[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody is forcing teachers to go back to work. They are at will employees just like everyone else.

So you are too scared to come back? Don't go back. Of course that means you don't get paid. You can't have your cake and eat it too. [/quote]

This. Kids need to go back to school and to get a meaningful education - not the sham that MCPS has provided over the past three months. [/quote]

They’ll get meaningful lessons from the brand new subs hired to replace ill teachers. If you used to run a kiosk at the mall, you are now qualified to be the warm body in a second grade classroom for the rest of the year. DCUM is fine with that, but wait until a 22 year old former health club desk attendant is “teaching“ AP Lit because the experienced teacher has RA, was on immunosuppressive therapy, caught the virus, and is out the rest of the year.[/quote]

The experienced teacher on immunosuppressive therapy would have an accommodation and wouldn't be in the classroom.

Also, what's with using "former health club desk attendant" as a sign of being unqualified? Plenty of qualified people have had a range of work experiences.

You keep say this, but I’m 48 with RA and in immunosuppressive therapy and have not been offered anything. Wouldn’t they want to start making those offers now before July 1?[/quote]

Of course you haven't been offered anything, because MCPS doesn't know what's going to happen on August 31 yet, because NOBODY knows. Would it be good to make those offers of accommodation before July 1? Yes, of course. Is it a failure that they haven't? No. Does it mean that there won't be any offers of accommodation? No. The ADA [i]requires[/i] MCPS to offer accommodation.[/quote]
