Wow. You are like a caricature.

Plus, I was a parent in those half day Mondays. And before, teachers say it— yes it was a childcare nightmare. As my kids got older, I used Mason students as after school nannies, so my kids could do sports and activities. And trying to find people available after school but a half day on Monday was a mess. A shorter school day all week— fine. But the one dofferent day was tough on working parents.

So a childcare issue, not a lack of teaching issue. Interesting.

We’ve been saying that for a minute. Parents get mad when their b!tchslapped with the truth thO

Honey, school IS daycare. Teachers are daycare workers. No real learning occurs during the school day. Parents need schools open so they can work, and then they can teach (or pay a tutor to teach) in the evenings, on weekends, and during summers.

Your education degree (degree in coloring) is a joke. That’s why you make pennies. Open the schools and babysit our kids so we can get some work done!

If I’ve learned anything this year, it’s that teachers really give a F about the woes of working parents. They are NOT babysitters, remember? I hope every teacher cringes whenever they are called a “hero.” They abandoned our children. I will never forget.

Meetings don't usually involve students.

When do these meetings happen with normal 5 days/week in person?

When kids were in specials, or a sub would come in. Remember the posts complaining about how often there was a sub, assuming the teacher was at the spa or something? Some of that was for meetings.

But school ends at noon every day for elementary kids now....
