[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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[b] I’d happily do that too[/b].  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]

I'm curious. What grade do you teach? I teach a primary grade and I don't know anybody who would make that statement.[/quote]

My husband teaches middle school math and likes teaching from home. I told him fcps may offer more virtual learning in the future so go ahead and apply for a job doing it full time if he wants. He would go back whenever but likes it more than he thought. [/quote]

Middle school math is extremely difficult for the students. My kid who used to
love math has a D and is miserable. Tons of time wasted manipulating slide show tools and whatnot and very little learning time. [/quote]

Disagree with pp about high school math working well online. Maybe for the teachers but not for kids. The online formatting is frustrating, wastes tons of time,
learning is extremely difficult, class time is much less than a normal year.
we had to hire a math tutor for the first time ever because our bright kid was failing algebra 2-honors. [/quote]

I can't speak to HS math. But my child's MS Honors Algebra 1 teacher is doing fabulous. My only gripe is that they've scaled back the curriculum and aren't going as depth into some of the topics. She said that is across FCPS. That's not her. That's the county, which is bullshit.[/quote]

It’s not bullshit. It takes forever to get through content online. It just does. We can’t hit it all so they’ve told us hit the MOST important standards. A lot of school is time filling tbh. We got rid of the “time filler” content. [/quote]
