[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t 94% of teachers in union vote No Confidence i her? That is a 6% Rotten Tomatoes score. Not good. Very very bad.[/quote]

Schools are for educating students, not a jobs program. The 94% of you can pound sand. [/quote]
DP.. I'm normally very supportive of teachers.  DC in MS tells me that none of their teachers want virtual, but then most of them are young.

IMO, the union represents the teachers' interests (the active union member teachers, who, I'm guessing are the lifers, old timers), NOT the interests of the students.  The union wants what's best for the teachers; not the kids.  These are supposed to be public servants, but their primary interests are themselves rather than the public that they serve.

During virtual last year, I saw which teachers had issues with technology, and they were mostly the older ones.  My kids had to train the teachers how to use the tech. It was difficult to watch.  In those situations, I'm not sure who learned more.. the teacher or the kids.. well, the kids learned that their teachers suck at navigating technology.

Yet, the union wants us to go virtual. Maybe they think these teachers now magically are able to deal with tech issues.

Also, I'm not that young.. I'm in my 50s, so nothing against old people.

I won't paint all teachers with a broad brush. It seems to me several are great at not only navigating tech, but want in person.  I see several teachers going about their lives, out shopping, going on vacations, meeting up with family. So, I assume those teachers aren't the ones pushing for virtual (right?).[/quote]
