[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is still confusing. Some think FCPS can require them after mar 1 until their desired metrics are reached. Pretty sure that’s not the case. [/quote]

This came up as a discussion in the staff lounge during lunch today. Nobody was quite sure what the plan is come March 1. We talked about the law, the superintendent's letter, "Moderate", and we just aren't clear.

My spouse is also a teacher and she said she asked her principal about March 1. He said he wasn't sure, but was hoping to get more information soon.[/quote]

This is totally unacceptable. I’m a parent and my kids are going maskless on March 1.[/quote]

Hope you are ready to step up and teach if teachers quit. [/quote]

This time we're serious! No, really...[/quote]

Many have quit and resigned.  Perhaps, more importantly, would-be teachers are changing academic and career plans because they see how many people crap on teachers.  Where have you been?[/quote]

Yes, the pandemic has caused many unexpected changes.  I will never go back to the office and I don’t love it.  But I am not stamping my feet and quitting.  Teachers need to stop being babies.  Another unexpected result is the many young adults who are voting Republican because they see who is looking out for them.  Hint.  It isn’t the Democrats. [/quote]

People leaving the profession they trained for and invested time, money, and energy into isn’t throwing a tantrum.  It is a decision made after doing a hard cost/ benefit analysis of the job at hand.  Last time I checked, indentured servitude wasn’t legal in the U.S., so folks can choose to leave a job if and when they want.

Moat of the young people I have met have been practically socialist: they don’t see a great future for themselves and believe  old white Republicans have screwed their generation and savaged the country’s resources for self-interest.  They’d like college to be more affordable, they’d like to not have to deal with an environmental apocalypse in their lifetimes, they’d like to have health care.  It’s ludicrous that you think Republicans have a reputation as being “the party that looks out for you.”
