I’m an APS teacher. None of us are “well rested” this year. What a stupid, ignorant remark. This year has been hell on earth. I wake up at 6, and work until 8 or 9 every night. I have my own family and kids to take care of on top of it. If this wasn’t temporary, I would leave my chosen profession, because a job that was already demanding is now off the charts. And then there’s people like you. I am so glad that my students’ parents have been supportive. You should be ashamed of yourself. I am definitely looking forward to summer, which means I will have survived this, and can go back to a normal fall. This concurrent stuff is not remotely fun for us, and we are really trying our best.
SO disparaging, to imagine anyone could think like this.
Maybe tell.your obnoxiously loud vaccinsted colleagues to stop their tantrums about returning to the classroom. Your colleagues don't give you are very good look.

I am an ER doctor.and have seen first hand how devastating this is. However, I absolutely think kids should be back at school 5 days and here is why:
1. Teachers are all vaccinated..
2. This disease had negligible risk to kids, other than the havoc quarantine is causing them in terms of weight gain and and mental health concerns. I'm seeing way more ODs and suicide attempts than I’ve ever seen in my career.
3. We have enough schools that have been open all through the pandemic to know that transmission in schools is lower than the general population. Schools are actually safer than kids being home and the parents using this as an excuse to travel all over kingdom come.

They don’t have a clue. Probably don’t even work themselves or have an easy WFH job so they assume everyone’s job is easy if it’s WFH. I have never felt lower and more defeated than teaching online at home between November / January. Like, I was looking for other jobs. That’s how awful it was. If we ever go DL again I don’t think I can stay. It was awful. And they think we were chillin at home and well rested lmao. I will teach all day in person with unvaccinated kids before I ever do DL again .
Well that’s all anyone is asking. Full time in person school for those who want it. That’s it. I’m sorry that people are calling it a “vacation” for teachers, I know that’s largely not true. But there are definitely some vocal teachers who are putting in the bare minimum and getting used to the lazy Covid lifestyle and really advocating AGAINST returning. So that’s where some of this criticism is coming from. If it doesn’t apply to you don’t take it personally.

I hope you communicate your frustrations with concurrent in order to keep the DL clowns at bay this fall.
I’m very logical, and I’m not worried about it. There might be some kind of small DL program, but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be business as usual. Maybe with masks, until we get a vaccine for the kids. Support your teachers. Enough of this stuff.

Three weeks?! I mean how will they ever manage? I suppose I can share with them my experiences with 12 months of this idiocy.

Had to double check the date on this thread to make sure it wasn’t from this past November or earlier. Yikes. Can’t imagine living with that level of anxiety + that level of misunderstanding of the Covid situation.

The difference is that they actually open right back up. It’s taken us a year to even begin reopening after the first shut down!
Exactly. I'd prefer in person school when numbers are low and rolling closures as needed. The inflexibility in this area scares me. It makes us too slow to react in either direction.

We’ve been in the SCHOOLS. And there is no union. You guys are so sad.
