Same. I work for a public school, and all the teachers are bitching and whining about being in person. Demanding that the district pays for their KN95 masks lmao. The district said to suck it up
If they wanted to work from home, they picked the wrong line of work. And if they were good at working from home, there wouldn't be so many kids wanting to commit suicide.
Anyone hear what happened in Chicago as the teachers were threatening to go on strike is the mayor finally forced them to go into school. They claim to care so much about the kids and want to return to school but refused to acknowledge the distance-learning has been a complete unmitigated disaster.
Growing up, many of us had teachers straight up destroy our dreams. I had one say that I’d never understand math and I’d never succeed in it. Jokes on that old hag (probably dead, she was old even in the 90s) - graduated Summa Cum Laude in a field of mathematics where a majority of my undergrad was spent taking graduate level courses (later TA’d one that focused heavily on computational complexity theory). Actually, if anything, math is the only thing I’m good at.
My wife had many teachers tell her (when she was basically homeless) that she would never accomplish a thing. Right now she’s sitting on the couch studying for the MCAT.
The “husband” of my wife’s sister had his wife do his homework while he was in college to get his education degree. Glad to know that some poor saps kid is being taught by someone who couldn’t even do his own homework and had to pawn it off on his communications major wife...
Something I’ve noticed recently is that many people going into education are doing it because they think it’s easy. Look at early-childhood education, the majority of (mostly female) people going into that specialty were the ones who barely did any work when they were in school and were more focused on their image and what event their sorority was doing. When it came to their focus on childhood education, it was because it doesn’t take much brain power to drink wine at night then come in the next day and teach rudimentary skills such as hand washing, colors, shapes, basic math and language arts. Also, I noticed that the same teachers who are refusing to go back to work “for their health” seemed to have no problem having get-togethers and drinking with friends or going out to bars (if they were open) during the “pandemic”.
The ones I have a ton of respect for are special education instructors though since they have a pretty tough job and many are involved in that field because they have a personal connection to having someone who is special needs in their family. Also they tend to be, from my experience, extremely pro-life and really dedicated to helping their students.
Especially for many of the students of color, that they supposedly say matter. Yet they are allowing them to fall through the cracks for almost an entire year. It's a shame.
And failing. Yikes. St. Paul schools are not doing well right now. HUGE FAIL rate. So do they want to improve the teaching? Oh no. They want to just change the grading. UGH! The point is that students are LEARNING! If they can't pass the tests, they are not LEARNING the material.
So you understand that we have the world's most annoying soccer moms.
Worst part is finding a woman to date who isn't like that. I found a great one the week before lockdowns, which is the only reason I still have my sanity.
In our school district, they took a survey over the summer of teachers and parents to see what they preferred, in-person or virtual. About 90% of both groups preferred in-person. They made some accommodations for those who wanted virtual, at least at first, but the great majority got their wish. School started back a couple of weeks later than usual, but still in August, and has been uninterrupted since then.
It's not fair to the children especially, but also to parents who work outside the home, to not open the schools. Kids have almost zero chance of passing on Covid to the teachers, since if they get it they're almost always asymptomatic. The teachers are just being selfish. If they don't want to go back to work, they shouldn't be paid or keep their benefits.
I wouldn't advise it. Many companies have a strict no politics policy. At least wait until you know what your boss and coworkers are like, and I would never get into politics if you work at a larger Corp. Most HR lean left, and pretty much all corporations in my field of study are leftists to varying degrees. My last professional employer is very openly leftist, so a MAGA had would have backfired bigly.
That's what I noticed about my job in deep blue Portland (before recently leaving that shithole), is that some people fall into the "crazy hippie" spectrum and dont preach about masks. Politics are so weird sometimes
Good luck finding a new place pede. Be sure to find a maga minded place.
I work behind enemy lines but they haven't been as oppressive as I had expected.

Teachers caring about kids?
Ahahahahahaha

Funny how that works! We're to the north of the cities.
These nut jobs think we’re living in a movie
They think the government is their own personal insurance policy, and it covers absolutely EVERYTHING.
I don't wanna work because there's a cold going around! Where's my payout?
I hope it implodes soon. This can't continue.
Weak minded people just looking for an excuse to not do their job
Don't forget, those teachers not being in class freed them up for things like ballot harvesting.
And trips to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
I may have to move to your district. I live in the Land of Karens (SoCal).
Karenfornia?
Lmao, that's actually where I'm located 😂

These teachers do not want to teach in the classroom?
What is wrong with them?
They hate kids ?

There is no way kids can learn virtually.
I would be goofing off all the time.
Kids need the teacher laying down the law. The nuns used to beat my knuckles with a ruler and pulled on my ears.
Wow! What state is this? Your district is very lucky.
They are fat, lazy, bitches who like welfare to the tune of $60K + a year.
Thank you. New career needed, zero confidence in any institutional research science now. MAGA is a requirement.
Anyone have luck by wearing a MAGA hat to interview? Wondering if it’s a good way to filter out the pc companies without seeming too political.
I have worn my MAGA hat in San Francisco and Oakland and was harassed by militant homosexuals and BLM thugs.
I wonder what being harassed by Bootyjudge would be like, isn't he like 5'6 ?
It might tickle.
Be careful when if you do have kids with you.
These people act like anmails with rabies.
It's probably a bad move to harass someone in a MAGA hat

I got fired because I'm behind enemy lines and I was at the Capitol
Just for being there?
Yup
Crazy.
