[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nonsense.  [b]What about the 2 days off our children have enjoyed.[/b]  You want 2 days off and postponement of tests and assignments?  You give and inch and they take a mile.[/quote]

Hooboy. This phrase when uttered by an incredibly unionized public servant is particularly hard to take. Perhaps you (the teacher) should be forced to Skype the lesson plan during the hurricane? [b]What did you as the teacher do during your 2 days off? [/b]Oh, and of course you will be expecting to be paid for the days that you sat at home eating Cheetos alone. "2 days off that your children enjoyed..." What are they, employees? It's as if you feel they should be punished for any idle moment they aren't driving your little ball of data forward.[/quote]

I did indeed eat Cheetos - while working on HW assignments with my oldest.  And I answered emails from colleagues and students regarding planning issues (I co-teach) and assignments.

I ran errands on Monday before losing electricity, and now that we're on generator (still w/o electricity), I am catching up on some other work I have regarding grading b/c grades are due.

I have a colleague who worked straight through the two days b/c she has a heavy AP chemistry load.

Who are YOU to question our professionalism?  an angry mother who wanted to "shelter" her child from responsibility?

Please - spare us the lecture, genius.

PP, my kids did their assignments. For some families there can be other contingencies in the storm prep and subsequent power loss that cause a delay in getting an assignment done.

[b]And you might want use a napkin to wipe that cheetos dust and faux outrage spittle off your chin.[/b][/quote]

This is the best you can do?

and after all of the pompous preaching . . . [/quote]
