[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You see this a lot if you read between the lines of people who are upset with reopening (in general, not just schools). They have self-diagnosed “social anxiety,” don’t want to go back to interacting in person, love the working at home lifestyle, no commute or getting dressed in nicer clothes every day. Plus with teachers in particular, when working from home, there’s less stress about classroom behavior management.

There are some very vocal people who never want the Covid lifestyle to end and some of them happen to also be teachers. I do think most teachers who actually enjoy teaching and are good at their jobs want to be back in the classrooms, so don’t paint all teachers with a broad brush here. It’s far easier to be an EFFECTIVE teacher in the classroom with students who are also in person in the classroom. But it’s an easier lifestyle to work at home and never leave your house. [/quote]

But it's so strange because all the teachers I know IRL hate distance learning and think it's MORE work, not less.  They always talk about all the extra hours they're putting in.  There's just a strange disconnect sometimes.  And teaching is the wrong career choice for anyone with social anxiety.

I have heard it IS more work and I understand that.  What I also have heard is that they are scared.

I think they're more scared than they are afraid of a lot more work.  I can't disagree with that.

You couldn't pay me enough money to be a teacher in a school right now with people like you as parents.  It is pretty clear that you don't have any regard at all for the health and safety of teachers and you're only concerned about getting your kids out of your houses.[/quote]
