[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I am so incredibly embarrassed for my profession right now. We have spent years trying to be seen as important, essential, professional, up to tackling challenges, etc. Now most of my colleagues are ranting dramatically and nonsensically all over social media while going on beach vacations and taking their kids to sports practices. I will be exiting this profession as soon as I possibly can. The whole show has been disgraceful. [/quote]

Agreed.  It just seems like no one was willing to make the sacrifices needed to return to in person learning this fall- or just didn't make the connection until it was too late.

However, IME those who were advocating against in-person learning are not necessarily the same ones complaining about DL now.  Many teachers with younger school-aged kids simply wanted to return to the classroom and now are really scrambling to figure out the logistics.  And there should have been more training this summer to help some of the non-technology savvy teachers navigate remote teaching.  [/quote]
"The sacrifices needed"-you are literally talking about people dying. Let's be clear here.[/quote]

By sacrifices needed, I meant no parties, no vacations, minimal store trips, no play dates. It’s not just teachers, it’s people across the board. Because so many have been doing all of these things, infection rates are now out of control again.  [b]But it rings a bit hollow when a teacher posts on social media that they are scared to go back to school after a week at Disney, you know?[/b][/quote]
