There should be a right to strike. Otherwise we're not living in a free society that protects workers' rights.

Also, it won't make one lick of difference to the quality of instruction anyway. We're providing in-person face-to-face instruction for the majority of the student body any time soon. Our cases, hospitalizations and deaths are just too high.

If we were truly living in a “free society”, half the teachers in the country would have not been paid for the last year since they haven’t done their jobs. And they’d now be looking for other jobs (probably without success) since most of them could have been replaced during the past year.[/quote]

If we were living in a real “free society” we would it have public subsidized schools. You also would have been fired for your less than full blast work product during this pandemic.  Not sure how these types of comments really help the dialogue.  But continue to rant [/quote]

What the hell? Teachers are now also responsible for setting back the women’s movement?!!! I’m sooooooo sick of this dumping everything on teachers!! I worked my rear end off during DL, late into the night every night. I volunteered to go back this week and have been summarily dumped on with extra responsibilities since I must not mind doing them because I volunteered. Are we also single-handed my responsible for climate change, AIDS, world hunger and poverty? Have at it folks!! But I’m done being everyone’s punching bag. This once-dedicated teacher is ready to move on. And before anyone feels the need to say it, I will be sure the door doesn’t hit me on the way out.

you know nothing about the quality of our work products. we do know something about the quality of teacher work.[/quote]

I know in a free society most companies would not hire women and especially mothers.  So there’s that. [/quote]

The main thing that allows women to be hired in our society is that we know all the kids will be going to school and so there's no need for childcare. By changing the rules on this, teachers around the country have put us back 50 years. Now employers look at women and think of them as childcare providers again, when we'd just gotten rid of that label.[/quote][/quote]
