[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] As a parent, I find it mind-boggling that so many parents seem to think that teaching is an easy job and don't recognize and appreciate how incredibly hard most teachers work (even in normal times, let alone dealing with all the extra challenges this year, which somehow some people think is an easier year for teachers rather than a harder one?!) I would think that most private sector jobs that a teacher would switch to would be easier and "better" (and I'm not sure how people could think otherwise unless they're somehow confused and think that classroom hours are the only part of teaching.) We are so freaking lucky to have so many amazing teachers willing to make the sacrifices necessary to teach our kids, and it's awful to see so many parents bash them rather than thank them.[/quote]
