[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking of temper tantrums, how does being so angry and irate at teachers 2 years later help your child learn this year?

Is your vitriol helping children get help or is it making the situation worse?

Or are only teachers expected to put your child above their family/yourself?[/quote]

Is that how you’d characterize the situation of the tens of millions of people that worked through the pandemic in public-facing and/or crowded conditions? Including the people that made sure you had food, utilities, medical services/supplies, public safety services, and countless other essential (and nonessential) goods and services?[/quote]

No it is how I characterize this thread and people who are still rehashing this argument after 2 years.

There are different issues now. Are they related? Sure 
If you want to help and not just spew anger then help. If not your anger is just anger and only you can change that.[/quote]

Schools and teachers can help by acknowledging their past mistakes and promising to act differently in the future.[/quote]

Ok we are so very very sorry.  The pandemic was mishandled by school boards, the president who threw out the CDC pandemic playbook, superintendents and the NIH.  Teachers taught these people and are therefore responsible for their actions.  It is true, even teachers themselves made errors of judgement and wanted to work from home. In the next global emergency we will act differently. This new, improved and better plan will be based upon the needs of the pandemic of 2020, not whatever future situation the world will be facing.

Thank you for demonstrating my point. It’s a problem that teachers haven’t acknowledged the harm they did to kids through their actions. It’s not even clear many of them fully understand that harm or the role they played.[/quote]

It is currently a larger problem that people like you who continue to harbor anger against teachers don’t understand the harm or role even the they are currently playing in hurting children and schools.

Using your argument the harm teachers “did” to kids was in the past. The harm you are doing is in the present and can now be changed.  So do it.  Be the person you expect teachers to be.  Stop being angry.  Help or at the very least, stop harming.

Don’t cry over spilled milk.

I, personally, don’t have a problem with teachers. Just public school teachers who fought tooth and nail centering student need. And what I will do about it is never again put my kids in public school. This is the completely rational response to what happened. [/quote]
