[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hundreds of thousands of teachers have been back in the classroom since August without a vaccine. What makes MCPS teachers so special?[/quote] Well that was their choice[/quote] And they sound like idiots for accepting that kind of treatment.[/quote] Even DL teachers have been chumps since last September. Many were working 14-16 hour days and spending thousands of dollars of upgrading home technology in order to do the job their employer told them to do.[/quote] Must be nice to be able to quit your job with nothing else lined up! [/quote] Luckily, people still have 5 weeks and I know teachers who are interviewing during lunch and getting offers. [/quote] If teachers have other options besides teaching in MCPS that work better for them, they should take them. Vote with your feet.[/quote] I agree. But in reality, we all know this is an empty threat. This threat happened at almost every district that returned, and spoiler alert: there were enough teachers left to teach. I think any teacher that leaves for a private sector job is in for a rude awakening. Whenever their boss tells them they are needed for a weekend. Or whenever their job description changes. Or whenever their benefits package changes. [/quote] All of those things have happened to teachers as well. I worked in the corporate world and decided to become a teacher. Realized it was a mistake and quit MCPS last summer to return to the corporate world, but with a different company. Truly the best decision ever. LinkedIn has opened up many teachers’ eyes to positions outside of schools.[/quote] And for those who do not have non-teaching work experience as adults, there are still many options. Several friends began teach Outschool and other online courses. A former colleague works for ETS full time. I know several people who are corporate trainers or textbook consultants. [/quote]
