[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It matters because the teacher has no reason to stay out other than not coming back to VA. How many others would jump at the opportunity to work from elsewhere and have a monitor cover the class? FCPS shouldn’t be paying for that. The monitor should be used to cover for someone with an ADA accommodation.

How would you know whether your teacher has a reason to stay or not. ADA information is protected. My students certainly don't know why I won't be returning to the classroom.[/quote]

An ADA accommodation to allow you to work from home as a teacher is beyond reasonable.  If the system were able to pair the teachers with those students doing virtual school only, that would maybe be okay, but to let a teacher "teach" from home while the kids sit with a monitor is kind of nuts.  I say that as someone who taught for years.  It's ridiculous.  Teacher needs to go on disability if cannot work in school.

So, do you realize that school systems don't keep spare teachers in the closet with the extra photocopy paper?  In the situation that you're proposing, where teachers go out on disability, the monitors would become the subs.  If their skills are so limited that you're worried about them being the only one in the room, why would you want them to be the teacher?[/quote]

LOL, I left your comment about the extra teachers with the photocopy paper. 😄[/quote]
