I’ll bite. What’s your backup plan when massive numbers of kids and your colleagues test positive? We just shut it all down, no learning at all? Other teachers are on the Catholic school threads talking about limited staff to start, and tiny sub pools. I get that. So then what’s the answer? We ask the smart kid in the class to teach math? We tell half of your class that’s home with covid to just catch up when they can? How? What if you are out by the time they return?

Either in-person or virtual.

Hybrid teaching was the last straw for many teachers. How many have left the profession? Answer: too many!

What's the tipping point to go fully virtual then? 5% 10% 25% 50%

Not my call. Above my pay grade. -Underpaid Catholic School Teacher

Figures.

What does that mean? Are all the diocesan high schools going virtual?

No, just the liberal ones.

Those of you who are ignorant to child development don't realize how the virtual model has impacted motor skills, speech skills, sustained attention, and executive functioning, with earlier elementary learners being the most impacted. You get the damn Covid, stay home for the required days and join back in when it's time, getting handouts of the notes like they used to do in the "old days" instead of the perpetual wheel of "virtual learning"

So when the teacher is sick, are you going in to sub?

Yes, as long as I didn’t have to wear a mask. Obviously they don’t work if the teacher is out sick.

How hateful are you? I’ll pray for you.

We received a similar email from our school. I was disappointed by the tone. Prepare for lots of disruption even though the CDC is reducing isolation and quarantining recommendations, and promoting test to stay.
