[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher. I will go back when I’m asked to go back, but if they tell me I can teach from home forever I’d happily do that too.  My job is to teach, that’s what I’m doing. My job is not to fight leadership about what that teaching should look like.

The idea that I’m a bad teacher because I’m not fighting the FEA rhetoric is ridiculous. I’m not an FEA member, I want nothing to do with it. I just want to write my lessons and teach my students, wherever the location is.[/quote]

You aren’t teaching if the kids aren’t learning. What you are doing from home right now isn’t teaching. [/quote]

DP. A lot of kids are learning. We have data that shows this. You don’t get to deny their hard work and progress because it doesn’t fit your narrative. Distance learning isn’t ideal but teachers and kids have been busting their a$$ to make it work. It’s not okay to erase that or deny it because it’s inconvenient for your agenda. [/quote]

Fcps’s own data shows that most kids aren’t learning. [/quote]

That is not what it shows. What it shows is that more kids are getting Ds and Fs. And it’s not the kids who previously got A and B. It’s the kids who only barely ever got D’s because their teachers had way more ability to snag them and sit and make them do SOMETHING. *we* pull those kids over the line. But now they can turn off the meet, leave, ignore the breakout room invite, play video games. Our ability to MAKE them is gone. But grades don’t = learning and kids who normally would fail now failing because we basically can’t hold their hand the entire time doesn’t mean other kids aren’t learning. [/quote]
