[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because those conferences should happening right now, like they have every other year.  These kids are basically getting a full week off of school. I thought they were really concerned about catching kids up from last year.  That week is now a wash.[/quote]

Right now they should be more concerned with teacher burnout. It's real. And while other surrounding counties are doing things to accommodate the mental health and well-being of their teachers, MCPS is piling on more responsibility. [/quote]

Is this for real?  What do you think burnout is like in other professions?  Nurses, truck drivers, law enforcement, retail, restaurant workers?  Anyone who has been working in person during this pandemic.  Are teachers somehow more ‘special’?

Teachers worked from home for over a year.  [/quote]

NP- Burn out is real is all those professions that you named and the folks responsible for employing them are having to make accommodations and do things in order to keep their employees happy and working.  So its not that teachers are more special, its that  teachers are the same, everyone takes their job for granted until they throw their hands up and say to hell with it, I’m taking my talents elsewhere.  People forget that teachers are parents also.  Teachers have lives outside also.  So again, its not that teachers view themselves as more special, but that many a parent, especially here on DCUm seems to view themselves and their circumstances as more special.[/quote]
