[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Staff have been notified that they must all report and work from the building’s beginning January 4th. FCCPS should be encouraging everyone to stay home and keep numbers down. Teachers must now teach from school, even while students remain virtual. This is one of the most irresponsible decisions they have made. Why force teachers to come in when students are not there? [/quote]

I think it’s smart in the sense that it’s a dry run before the kids come back. Also it’s a clear signal that teachers better have a plan in place for their own kids. (And spare me the tears all parents that work outside the home are dealing with these issues now as well.)[/quote]

Here’s a member of said torch waving angry parent crowd [/quote]

Exactly.  Exhibit A.[/quote]

No. “Reasonable” FCPS parent here. And I hadn’t considered this. I don’t know how far before students teachers need to come back to their classroom, but they should come back before students.  If you guys are using the God awful concurrent model we have, then you want to deal with issues like broadband access and new equipment and work out the kinks in the technology before kids come back in. And get some comfort teaching in your classroom to DL, before we all see what a mess the model that has teachers concurrent teaching is (I do hope you guys didn’t get stuck with that).  If the FCPS DL a rollout last spring showed us anything, it’s that standing up an entirely new teaching model should be staged. Of course, FCCPS standing up a new model and FCPS standing up a new model are entirely different things.

I wouldn’t want teachers to have to have to put kids who aren’t a problem into childcare before it is absolutely necessary.  I believe FCPS is letting parents bring ES aged kids in with them. Which is as it should be if the kids can work independently, in the name of risk mitigation.  My mom was a teacher and back in the 1980s, I would go to work with her and sit in the back and read if I had a day off or was mildly ill. Yeah, I know it would never happen here and now.   Different time.

But, that raises another issue. If FCCPS is like FCPS, there are a lot of threats to resign or retire rather than come back out there.  The school system needs to force the issue somewhat because they can’t have 10% of their workforce quit the day before kids are scheduled to come back. If a teacher really isn’t coming back, they need time to plan for that.

You lose a lot of credibility if you don’t at least consider that other points of view have some validity and jump on everything other people say as crazy just because you don’t like it. [/quote]
