That's gonna go real well with the start of flu season. I'm all for schools coming back, but trying to come back during the time when everyone gets sick doesn't seem too smart. Better to come back now and work out all the issues instead of figuring it out in November.

there's not going to be a flu season. look what happened this winter in the southern hemisphere. the flu disappeared.

I hope you are right, but based on the morons in this country I don’t believe it.

if everyone is wearing masks and distancing inside and socializing outside, there won't be a flu season.

Our staff was told that we needed to meet a certain threshold to return to teaching in person in schools. The survey I responded to made it seem like it was just teachers returning to do virtual learning from the classroom. I didn’t know I was voting to return kids to school! I guess we need between 20-50% willing to return and we didn’t meet the 20%.

Interesting, I straight up asked my principal if we were one of the school sending select students in person. I teach self contained so I figured we’d go back.

To my surprise the principal said they weren’t submitting a proposal, staff was not asked.

I will, if you try and sabotage on purpose I can easily kick admin out and say it was a glitch. Or better yet kick your child out, but if you want your child to miss a lesson because of your hatred ok.

Enjoy your day.

I sincerely hope you are not really a teacher. Posters like this are why parents have lost sympathy for teachers. And it's not fair. Not least of all because you probably aren't one.

Yes and ‘enjoy your impact scores’ isn’t rude at all. No one wants your sympathy. Teachers will always have a job somewhere. We have a teacher shortage across the nation.

In fact even before Covid-19 50% of teachers considered leaving their profession (PDK International).

Our profession has little respect and all your true feelings are coming out during Covid. One of my parents the other day told me that they love me as a teacher and their son has flourished since being in my class but they are upset and disappointed that I choose to work remotely.

The interesting thing is the union only asked if we felt like DCPS could safely implement 10 kid max in their classroom, if we or someone close were more susceptible to covid, if we had kids, and what DL participation looked like.


There wasn’t a survey that stated ‘should we go back to school in person?’ But yes, I choose this.

Hilarious. As if a parent would sabotage our child's learning to get back at a teacher. You completely overestimate the real estate you occupy in our heads. No, your impact scores will be low because DL doesn't work. If you card at all about your job, which is to have your students learn, you'd know this fact.

With the way some of you speak, 100% believe you’d do that. Hahahahaha, I already had my preliminary evaluation. If it was the real one admin said I would have received a 3.7 that’s lower than my usual but still HE.

Distance learning IS NOT the best but it does work if the teacher is good and families are on board and actually follow directives.

Ps. I teach students with disabilities who are 100% better served in person and they are still learning, what’s your excuse?

I’m not the teacher you are responding to, but I think I posted on this thread that my demands are guarantees of soap, sanitizer, formal guidance on what happens when a kid purposefully coughs on me, and a policy that a forced quarantine doesn’t require use of my own leave. I don’t think I’m asking for much, and I would have gladly returned in August had the district made some simple promises.

That's a really reasonable list of requests. I mean we could quibble on the soap/sanitizer because surface transmission isn't really a risk, but if that makes you feel more comfortable that's fine. And I totally think it's fair that forced quarantine shouldn't be taken out of leave, and that the virus is "weaponized" (i.e., coughing on you as a joke/threat). If you were running things, we could quickly and safety be back in the classroom, with children learning where and how they should.

...policy to "prevent" the virus being weaponized...
