[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am blown away at the nastiness and ignorance on this thread.  Is there any profession in the world as disrespected as the teacher.  That all of you think you can just look at and judge and think about how much time it takes to do their jobs?  The lack of respect and value for teachers is disgraceful.  If you think it is such a cushy, easy job than why didn't you become a teacher?  If you want your child to learn, it isn't about returning to school in person- it is about respect.  If you think this away about their teachers, what attitude do you think they have towards their teachers.  I am sure it is challenging to learn when you feel that you already know everything.  If you think it is so easy to unpack and set up a classroom, then you should volunteer to go and help your child's teacher.   This is really ugly, and this is the problem, not where we are learning, but the community speaking and writing this ugly rehetoric.[/quote]

Part of the frustration is that it is a "profession" where many of the "professionals" seem unwilling to go beyond the bare minimum required of them, even during a pandemic where kids have lost so much class time and learning.  Although it is not the teacher's fault this learning loss has occurred, it would be nice if teachers showed some willingness to do things like get classrooms ready without claiming to need many days away from teaching to do it.

Most other professionals would simply see it as part of their job and get it done.[/quote]

Unfortunately a few voices don’t equal all. I, for one, would love to see a post that didn’t lump every poor action, every dumb post off Twitter or Facebook to ALL teachers. Part of the frustration is the lack of respect is extended to all in a blanket statement. This is the first time I’m reading about this request for days and yet DCUM claims all teachers want this. It’s the same crap and different day. [/quote]
