[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]as an APS teacher, I agree with you. I really hate that all parents have to preface everything with "I know teachers are working so hard" and "you are so amazing" so they don't come off as horrible and get beaten down by the crowd. distance learning sucks. I'm a HS teacher and hate that I am only allowed to be on camera with each class for 45 minutes twice a week (I'm not an AP teacher).

I am NOT familiar with elementary, so this next thought doesn't apply to younger grades, but I'm so fed up with secondary teachers saying they are working 15+ hour days and are such martyrs. they'd have to be ridiculously incompetent to need such long hours to transfer a class online that they've been teaching for years. I very much agree that some teachers are riding the DL train because they like working from home better (who doesn't?). I'm probably just jaded from reading too much AEM where parents have to bow down to teachers before asking a question, and then teachers jump down their throats about how parents are so privileged and don't care about the lives of teachers. eye roll. while it's not feasible this week due to rising numbers, I do believe we should be back in the classrooms (and should have been since september). DL doesn't work for many, MANY students. mine are suffering, mentally if not academically.[/quote]

+10000 Thank you for voicing this and not berating the posters with concerns over how DL is being handled. I find it interesting how quickly folks are to attack parent posters who are frustrated. They can dish it out, but they can't take it :) [/quote]

There’s a big difference between saying “DL sucks” which most of us agree on and “ teachers aren’t doing anything and are taking advantage and putting in minimal effort.” That’s why OP is getting jumped on. [/quote]
