[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure (I hope, at least!) that this year teachers are staying home when they have cold-type symptoms that in past years they’d just push through.

But I don’t think we want teachers, even vaccinated ones, powering through that throat tickle or slight cough to head into the classroom. So everybody scrambles to cover. Following those covid best practices is inevitably going to exacerbate the shortage of subs that’s been a recurring problem for years.[/quote]

Teachers aren’t allowed to get tested in schools and [b]we are under a lot of pressure to keep showing up even when sick because of the shortage[/b]. We are all losing planning periods to cover other classes. Schools/admin does not want to test teachers bc there is a shortage already. A former colleague of mine tested positive and her administrator told her not to say anything. [/quote]

This really pisses me off- both for you as teachers but also for our kids who are forced to quarantine for 10 days if exposed.[/quote]

It's amazing since there isn't a shortage. Last I knew kids were going to private in droves and they were laying teachers off. Oh wait that's what they were saying last week... :roll:[/quote]

Agree, the only shortage is in the OP's mind.[/quote]

There’s a massive sub shortage and para shortage. Still over 300 teaching jobs available. Wake up.[/quote]
