[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did no one tell teachers dl was twice the work? It is easily that. But double the work and stress to be safe is a good trade off. Now teach our kids or find a new line of work.[/quote]

+1.  I'm just getting tired of all these "dog are my homework" excuses.  Teachers you got your DL, now please put in some effort and actually teach our kids.[/quote]

Parents, we understand you are unhappy ... but your kids will be safe and so will their teachers.  Now please put in some effort and actually be a better parent.[/quote]

You're evading the question.  We have been better parents, but that's irrelevant.  What will YOU do to be a better teacher?  If anything, it looks like some unions are now even trying to wiggle out of DL.  Please remember you are still getting *paid* to do *something*.[/quote]
That was not the question. The question was, “Teachers, what do you want?” There is no evasion. [/quote]

I hope you're not ironically challenged, as the question was really more rhetorical.  As the article points out, one the one hand teachers don't want in-person.  On the other hand, teachers also now don't want DL.  Huh?!  So exactly "what do teachers want" or are they just against all available options?![/quote]
Oh, okay. So when you said, "What do teachers want?" You actually meant that you are demanding we explain to you how we will be "better teachers". Got it. We're actually not obligated to spell out to you how we do our jobs, and I'm already a great teacher. How about you tell us how you are going to step up as a parent and support your child's learning? How are you going to step up as an employee and "stop making excuses" about your own children being home? Or are you alone somehow deserving of endless sympathy and grace? [/quote]
I'm actually showing up and doing my job, as assigned by my employer in person, just like I always do in exchange for a paycheck. I'm not expecting  'grace or sympathy' from anyone. What I expect from you, angry teacher lady, is no more and no less than is expected of everyone else. Do your job in exchange for your paycheck and stop with the pity party about your unique and special needs/demands.  [/quote]
I haven't made any demands or talked about any of my needs so I'm not sure what you're referring to. I already do my job, which is educating children, every day. My job is not to solve your childcare problems or make your life easier, regardless of what you want. [/quote]
