[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The respect for teachers have gone down tremendously after the pandemic. Before, we used to think it is noble profession and they care about teaching and students, blah blah blah. Some of the teacher may still care, but overall it is quite clear that they don't really care about teaching or students well being. Anytime you mention teaching in person, they revert back and tell you that they are not babysitters. The fact of the matter is that no one is expecting them to be babysitters, at least do the job for which you are getting paid which is teaching IN-PERSON.[/quote]

I think gets to the root of the argument. Our social contract has a fundamental disconnect.

Teachers want to teach. They went into the profession focusing on the teaching. I’m sure they didn’t go into it just so they could watch kids all day.

Many working parents are happy to send their kids to school so they don’t have to pay for childcare anymore. There is an unstated social contract that schools provide childcare for X days/year.

Many teachers can teach via DL and while not ideal circumstances are doing their best to do what they signed up to do. Teach.

Working parents are now left with no childcare and are freaking out.

Teachers and working parents have fundamental differences in what school means to them.

Stay at home parents are also freaking out because their kids aren't getting an education, or at most only a fraction of an education.  [/quote]
