[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in Colorado (Denver burbs not the boonies), elementary has been full time 5 days a week since October with ms and hs hybrid. Our school board just voted to send ms and hs back full time in person 5 days a week after spring break which is in two weeks.

I am exceedingly grateful to have a healthy population and teachers and teachers unions who care about kids. This is public school. I hope your unions stand down, they have destroyed public education and your kids are paying the price. [/quote]

You are very fortunate, and sadly, very right about unions destroying our public education here. It's unbelievable the crap they have pulled at the expense of our students. [/quote]

[b]There are no teachers unions in Virginia. [/b] There is no collective bargaining in Virginia.  Yet.  I hope the teachers push for collective bargaining.  It is embarrassing to me that in Northern Virginia people who CLAIM to be BLUE are avidly anti-union.  Learn to walk your talk, people.[/quote]

I knew that someone would jump in an say this. The associations don't have collective bargaining, but they organize their members to vote in a certain way which has influenced the school board, and they otherwise act like unions. I don't care what they are officially called, they had a large influence on the opening of schools. The governor and state said that under specific guidelines schools could be open in the fall. Kindergarten through 2nd grade was supposed to be open even if we went back to phase 2. Because the associations encouraged members to threaten a staffing shortage, the majority of children have not been in the classroom for a year. [/quote]
