[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI, there were a number of WMS teachers who didn’t want to return last year in person. They were denied extension of Covid virtual accommodations. They were planning to leave APS and APS or take an unpaid leave of absence. APS asked them to continue teaching virtually while a replacement was found. NEWSFLASH no one was wanting these jobs in person or virtual so the teachers were allowed to remain virtual through the end of the year so the students would have a teacher. They weren’t lazy they were doing your kids a favor.[/quote]

But WHY did they not want to return and do the job they signed up for? This has been discussed over and over and over, but there are so many professions that being in-person is required and teaching is one of them. Why was this such a battle for many (not all) teachers to return in-person when they were fully vaccinated, able to stay 6+ feet apart from students in a half-full classroom, etc etc. This is the part that is so bothersome. These kids were facing an incredibly difficult time and it is really sad that teachers were turning their backs to them when they really needed them. Shameful. [/quote]

Most people I know did not want to go back in person last year due to uncertainty- accountants, lawyers, consultants, etc. They love working from home and most of them still are! Your argument does not hold up.[/quote]
