Go to hell. I worked 60+ hours every week, some closer to 80. My mariahe and child suffered greatly. You are a horrible, horrible person.

I worked 5 days a week, but I’ll be sure to work slightly less on your kids now.
Yep, I feel the same way. If the parents continue to insult us, they’ll definitely get less. I can happily give them what the “think” we work.
All that effort paid off. Just look at the SOL results for the proof of the extensive teaching/learning that happened last year.
Ohhh, burn…(not). Everyone knows that virtual isn’t as good as in-person. Not one person expected the results to be the same or better.

Haha. There are plenty of open positions if you think you can do better. Oh wait, you don’t want the job, then STFU!

I worked 6 days per week last year. I also spent over $1000 preparing my home for distance learning, so this bonus will help pay back a little of that cost.
Ooof. What did you buy? I'm not debating, but I'm curious. I didn't spend anything, but I did go into the building every day.

I'm not the PP, but I bought a wacom tablet (math teacher) to be able to show steps to solving/graphing/etc, a printer/scanner to be able to create and post answer keys, a couple lamps because the lighting in my spare bedroom was horrible and I was just a darkish figure, and upgraded our internet to be able to accommodate constant video chatting for 6 months. Probably close to $1000 at the end of it all. I could have gone into school but then I would have had to pay for childcare for my 3rd grader which would have been way more than $1000, so I taught from home.
Thanks for the reply. That makes sense with the daycare situation. That's one thing I didn't have to deal with so I was able to go into the building. I mainly used my laptop, a second monitor, a document camera and the the SmartBoard once students returned. I seldom scanned or printed, but I used the school's machine if I had to do that.

In another district, we got workbooks and they were nice and the teacher never used them - in person or on online. I agree with giving teachers a bonus.

That’s really an insult to people like me, who worked in the building all 5 days all year last year, except when the building was closed. Stop saying lies. I worked very hard last year and made it possible for school to be open for in person and I worked to accommodate students that were learning from home by gathering materials and supporting testing in person on Mondays. And I did this by choice because it was the right thing to do. I did not even request to be virtual. Do I not deserve my bonus, pp?

I live in Loudoun, with no step increase this year, it’s makes more sense financially for me to go back to LCPS.
Me too. They've had two straight years of step increases and now the salaries have caught/exceeded FCPS. LCPS administrators also had a massive reclassification last year that gave most 25k bumps.
