[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont know what to make of it. There seems no interest by anyone anymore in being a community.  I work in government and we have issues too - some age groups don’t like the idea of not getting every holiday off, or having to taking turns. They aren’t willing to sacrifice for the greater good anymore. I spent years voluntarily doing my family Thanksgiving the week before real Thanksgiving so that I could work that week. It wasn’t a big deal and my family was fine with it.

As for teachers…I do think some frame of reference for the rest of our realities is lacking. It was very obvious during the pandemic…millions of us worked in person in crowded places with no mask or distance mandate like was provided for teachers. And then we had to find a way to be home to monitor virtual school. It often felt like the very vocal teachers thought all parents were work at home rich lawyers with nannies or some thing and were mad at them for that.

I have lost faith in schools.  It doesn’t seem like any of the teachers actually enjoy teaching. [/quote]

Many teachers do enjoy TEACHING. They just reject the incorrect demands that they also be social workers and daycare staff.[/quote]
