[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But that's not going to solve the problem in 6 weeks. I'm not going to hire help, but I am going to need to wake up at 4am every morning to cram in enough work before the kids wake up.  I don't think many teachers seem to understand what life is like with parents working while kids are home and need to be educated.  And then parents are ostracized for trying make this work for them?[/quote]

I sure do understand. I have two school aged children, one with special needs.  So I am acutely aware that it is near impossible to teach your children while also working.  And for all the parents on here complaining about live classes, you can hear my child melting down screaming and yelling in the background.  I have to erase my child’s privacy to serve your children. So please have a little sympathy for teachers who are also struggling mightily. [/quote]

I have no sympathy for the teachers who are mocking this thread on Twitter and coming on here to say that parents have no business hiring help.  Look, I'm not going to hire help because I don't see how it's going to help my situation.  But ranting about parents looking to hire a tutor/sitter/nanny/governess just so we can all get through the day?  That's not a good look, teachers.  Instead of making parents look like the bad guy for trying to make the best of a bad situaiton, focus on demanding help from the government.  We should have better testing, contact tracing and outdoor solutions for classes -- and we don't.  That's not the parents' fault. [/quote]
