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.

Teachers caring about kids?

Ahahahahahaha

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.

The college I attend was, among other things, know for a large number of teacher/education majors. The early childhood ones were some of the dumbest people I met.

No, the TV in your room doesn't work because a bad snow storm knocked out power to the campus. But, but the common bathrooms and soem hallway lights work and the WiFi still works and the main dining building is open. Hear that strange humming sound all over campus? That is your friend nat gas or diesel providing fuel for several dozen generators so you can see at night, eat and get on BookFace or Twatter, etc.

On the local open forum for my town we have a few teachers with some "Not Until It's safe" FB Profile pic. Someone looked on their profile and found most of them posed pictures of them at the beach, dining out with friends all mask-less over the summer. Once school started it was all pics of them mask wearing, stay home you peasant so I can go back to teaching. A collage of the summer vs. fall pics was created and posted. They screeched about "hOw dArE yOU stAlK mE!" and rants about how mean people are and how much I care about kids, I just don't wan to die!

Wife's a sped teacher and she has it 10x worst then gen-ed. While the schools are 100% distance she has students every day in class because the iep mandates it, not to mention all the extra paperwork that she has to do on top on teaching those kids. It's a fricken nightmare, but she loves those kids and wants then all to succeed. My hats off to her and all the other sped teachers out there

My asshole stepdad had this former student show up with his strong friends to collect the 100$ he said he'd give him if he ever made it to college when the student was 10 or something. Long story short, I was certain he had been a jerk to that student without knowing anything about the situation. Even though the 100$ was a loss for whole family (I was a young teen) it was worth seeing him shrivel.

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.

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?

It is.. and this my friend was the true PLAN all along. Just look how much redpilling has occurred just inpast 12 days.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's always been about exposing. Is that not what is happening n a massive scale. And it's not one guy claiming something. Everyone can see with their own eyes.

NEGOTIATED Divorce with the Chief Negotiator in Charge. Guaranteed something is happening behind the scenes and we are seeing a strength based negotiation playing out in real time.

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.

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.

I thought I did, then I married her, then she made me miserable, divorced me, and still goes out of her way to degrade me and make life unbearable at every opportunity.

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.

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.
