What you are failing to see is that APS is reacting to teachers using their leave as needed. You can’t compare your office drone job that can go on with or without you for a day. If you aren’t there and take a day of leave your company can still operate without you. It’s not APS school staff fault that teachers are using their earned leave for childcare when other districts close which then puts APS in a bind and unable to operate because they can’t operate with less than a certain number of staff to supervise kids. Then APS has to make a decision on if they can operate.

And we can’t act like decisions of other counties, especially one as large as FCPS with over 180,000 students, won’t impact APS which is tiny comparatively. A large portion of APS staff lives in Fairfax and Alexandria.[/quote]

Clueless complainers complaining again…

What if pilots, nurses, doctors, EMTs, police, garbage collectors used their leave as needed en masse every time they had a childcare hiccup?

Teachers just don’t view themselves as essential and don’t act like they are.  And they make more money than most of the professions listed above.  So it’s not that.  It’s just how they are treated and think of themselves.   [/quote]

Have you flown lately?  Flights are getting cancelled left and right because the airline staff are taking sick leave.  Hello?![/quote]

Different situation.  Follow along.  Post was about teachers calling out sick due to childcare created by surrounding districts not opening.[/quote]
