[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking of temper tantrums, how does being so angry and irate at teachers 2 years later help your child learn this year?

Is your vitriol helping children get help or is it making the situation worse?

Or are only teachers expected to put your child above their family/yourself?[/quote]

Is that how you’d characterize the situation of the tens of millions of people that worked through the pandemic in public-facing and/or crowded conditions? Including the people that made sure you had food, utilities, medical services/supplies, public safety services, and countless other essential (and nonessential) goods and services?[/quote]

No it is how I characterize this thread and people who are still rehashing this argument after 2 years.

There are different issues now. Are they related? Sure 
If you want to help and not just spew anger then help. If not your anger is just anger and only you can change that.[/quote]

Schools and teachers can help by acknowledging their past mistakes and promising to act differently in the future.[/quote]

In the summer of 2020 my district (Fairfax County) surveyed teachers to see if we were willing to teach in person. DW and I, both ES, responded in the affirmative. We were definitely ready to start the school year in person. By the start of school the school board decided we would all be virtual. I think they tried to please everyone and just couldn’t make it work, so in my mind we were essentially locked out. We both went into the building to teach online, as did many others, but it was not a good situation.

I have no apologies to make. [/quote]

What was the academic benefit of going into the school building to teach online? Or did you have issues with self-discipline or childcare? Otherwise, it’s about the optics or virtual signaling with zero actual benefit to the students.[/quote]
