Nobody cares if schools are safe.
You can’t treat teachers like crap and expect great teaching,
You got what you deserve.
Ditto for nurses and healthcare workers. Don’t kill my mom but for f-sake don’t send her home with me either.
This is an offensive and distorted caricature of parents. In perpetuating it and pushing it out via their members, the teachers unions and teaching profession lost a ton of credibility.
How do you figure? The school districts in the DC area absolutely did the right thing during COVID. To this day, people are insanely suggesting that teachers raised concerns about COVID, not because of the pandemic, but because they wanted to sit at home in their jammies.
Parents are the problem and always have been. If the commenters in this thread don’t think that screens at home are the #1 issue, I don’t know what to say. The entertainment tech industry has destroyed kid’s minds and parents are willing executioners because the world is a stressful place and that period where the kids are quiet on the devices allows them downtime.
/parent, no association with the educational profession
Absolutely not. Districts reopened quickly elsewhere in the country. There was no widely reported issue with the teacher's health there, and the learning loss in children was not as severe. That being said, a lot of this people in this area that consumed sensational media reports and wouldn't have sent their kids to school anyway so it would have been a wash.

It sounds like you need to get off social media and start interacting with some real parents, whether that be here in the US or in Russia where you live

+10
I lost respect for so many parents I knew during Covid. So entitled and abusive towards their kids’ teachers.
