[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These teachers should be ashamed of themselves. [/quote]

Seriously.  [b]They get the entire rest of the week off from having to deign themselves to see children on a screen[/b], they need to pull this nonsense as well while our taxes pay their salaries?  Public sector unions should be banned.[/quote]

It’s interesting how you think if they’re not working with kids they have the day off. You do know planning is work right?

Or should we stop paying lawyers, doctors, office workers, etc for any paperwork or planning they have to do?[/quote]

First of all, please read the bolded part.  I did not say they had the week off.  Maybe your teacher called in "sick" the day that she was supposed to teach reading comprehension?

Also don't pretend that planning time is equivalent to actual teaching time in terms of benefit to children.  The same with doctors and lawyers- if my doctor said that she had to cancel my appointment but would research my complaints in the intervening period I would not be happy with that.  Adding two additional planning days to during a week when there were already two days without in person instruction is absolutely less taxing than actual teaching.  My teacher friends go on and on about how much easier people with office jobs have it because they have to be "on" all day.  Which I agree with and is why I wouldn't be a teacher BUT you can't then say that planning is the same amount of work as actual teaching.  Yes it is work but not equivalent work.  [/quote]

Obviously, the union can’t call on its memebers to simultaneously skip a major work function and say it’s not a strike. This isn’t even an argument worth having. The only interesting question is if the union and members are so stupid as to think it’s not a contract violation? Frankly my kid’s teachers this year don’t seem particularly bright, but I’d think they could at least figure that out. [/quote]
