Get rid of all teachers' unions! They have always been nonessential! Also, all you pedes who homeschool, if you pull your kids out of a public school to do it, contact the school regularly to make sure they haven't put your kids back on the rolls. This has happened with my cousins multiple times. Make sure they do not receive extra funding for kids who are not attending public schools.
They don't need to even hear from you. Just show the Instagram feeds of the teachers claiming they can't reopen who I'm sure are all 100% social distancing all of the time (hint: They aren't).
The majority of school districts in the country are essentially doing homeschool this year. A lot of parents are going to find out just how shitty their kids education is and just how "easy" home school is (by comparison to the boogieman that it's impossible for most people).
I think this will be a paradigm shift away from public schools and a massive shift to home, charter, and private schools going forward.
From what I've read so far, and it is fairly limited to about 200 miles of my locality, upwards of 30% of students have already been pulled entirely out of the public school system and another 40% have elected for full remote if they even have a different option.
That's 70% of kids being removed from the public school system essentially and I think a huge portion of those kids and parents will look to NOT return to a traditional public school in the future.
The shift might be a little slower in my city since we are a Republican stronghold and they pushed HARD to open up the schools as much as possible. They gave the choice to do classroom full-time or to go virtual full-time. I heard they are going to get classes in the building with a max of 14 students.
They'll blame the failure on the kid Nd the system instead if their teaching abilities. If parents are engaged the grades for those students will definitely go up.
Bingo! It's almost impossible to get fired from a government job. You could have the poorest performance ever and yet you will keep you job. There might be a complaint about you but it's put onto a pile and your file will not be addressed for a few years, by that time you have already been transferred somewhere else and so they wrote out the report or just don't look at it.
The Veterans administration is the worst. Espescially other veterans who work there. Worst help i get every time are the vets whom work there. The civilians are the most compassionate. Would take one vet guy a whole hour just to print records. He would disAppear for 45 minutes and act like he was out somewhere with a shovel finding my documents. Lazy as fuck
The only people teacher unions serve are teachers.
Not the kids. Not the parents. Not the education - teachers.
And that's fine - the union is to serve amd represent the labor. Police unions represents the cops, not the greater community. Same thing with any trade union.
The only difference is teachers have a holier-than-thou attitude and can use kids as a bargaining tool
Well now that they're doing online classes, why not register your kid with a private school that's the best for them! Why be stuck with your sucky closed school with subpar technology? Trump wants to tie the funding to the kids and parents, not the school, that's what that means. It's a win-win for everyone!
This is what I am trying to tell my daughter. I homeschooled them, she is not unfamiliar with it, and I'm like, "Hey, since you guys are pretty much homeschooling anyways, maybe we can buy a curriculum that is actually really great instead of the low level crap they are teaching in public schools?"
My wife works in a small charter school and I hear all the time about how the public school district and teachers union are constantly trying to fuck them over. They really don't give a damn about the kids or improving their education. The union should really be broken up. I don't see any other way.
Its 40 weeks. We work 40 weeks including weeks of training and professional development. We take that salary for 40 weeks, and we can opt to only be paid during those 40 weeks, or spread it out over all 12 months so we don't have to go without a paycheck over the summer.
Curriculum is CONSTANTLY changing. I spend a week in the summer learning the new curriculum and multiple additional hours during each week planning, preparing, and then re-tooling the lessons (especially when they don't work/are ineffective). Most of these lessons we have to create ourselves from our teacher's manuals. We don't just get to "reuse everything".
This isn't even touching on the massive amount of grading we end up having to do at home at night. Tests, homework, writing...we have to grade it all. 30 of them a pop in elementary school.
We also have to deal with massive behavior problems as well. Kids who will literally punch us out. Parents who 100% side with their kids even when the kid is wrong. Oh, but the second another kid does something to their kid? We have to bring the wrath of God on them or they will "make sure you never teach again".
Unions protect us from losing our jobs unfairly. Here are some times when myself or a coworker had to go to the union to protect our jobs:
a parent claimed we were "targeting" their child unfairly for discipline (aka "RACISM")
we posted a pro-Trump meme on our private Facebook page
we disagreed with our district Equity specialist on whether we should allow a 4th grader to refer to their teacher as a "fucking retard"
we taught students that there were 2 genders, and a parent disagreed
at a staff barbecue, while drinking, we mentioned that we are disappointed in our Common Core curriculum
Also, these stories you hear about "shitty teachers getting to keep their jobs" just aren't true anymore. If a principal can prove you are ineffective these days, they can get you fired. We are on 3 year evaluations...so its not hard for them to create "proof" if they want to. Like you, we have to decide whether to keep our heads down and protect our jobs, or speak up and risk them.
We aren't asking for your pity. Hell, I disagree with what the unions are pushing right now. Its ludicrous. But I'm not gonna stand by while you call me a "lazy bastard".
By the way, you fucking idiot, I do work over the summer. A lot of teachers do.
And I have personally reached out to my state teachers' union and told them they are over-reaching and that we need to be back in the classroom and back to work.
Maybe you can stop generalizing all teachers for a fucking minute and remember that conservative, Trump-loving teachers are on your side. I can't fight bullshit from the left and deal with assholes on the right at the same time.
Can’t believe how stupid the teachers union is being in all of this. Everyone I know is either homeschooling or doing virtual school in the fall because of Gretchy’s decisions. Don’t they realize that they are protesting themselves out of jobs? Don’t need as many teachers to do virtual school, plus no need for principals, counselors, etc. They’ll never get bond support if no one is going to a building. They really should be on the frontlines of exposing the lies about hydro, masks, flattening the curve, etc. so they can keep their jobs. Useful idiots!
Unions used to be integral to make sure the workers were being treated fairly. This in turn got the government off their ass to provide basic rules for workers. After that unions really turn into a money-making machine for themselves. Today unions are becoming government-run institutions which is complete b*******.
Far past time. The unions are a primary source of the Marxist indoctrination and protect the worst of the worst. It's no mystery as to why education standards have fallen so precipitously.
These teachers are cheering on the demise of the future of their chosen career, this whole Covid situation showed us how that "remote learning" can reduce the need for physical buildings and any jobs that are need to maintain the buildings. Why in the future would we need more teachers, custodians, and school food service workers? This changes the dynamic of education, and makes them an endangered species.....say good by to your pensions you morons!

Already they're trying to Infect it with SJW crap. See here:

Agreed, unions should only be for the private sector and of course, all of them should still be voluntary.
Bingo! It's almost impossible to get fired from a government job. You could have the poorest performance ever and yet you will keep you job.

School choice is a nuclear weapon against the institutional Left. Prioritize it.
The only people teacher unions serve are teachers.
Not the kids. Not the parents. Not the education - teachers.
And that's fine - the union is to serve amd represent the labor. Police unions represents the cops, not the greater community. Same thing with any trade union.

I'm a fan of Laura's recent focus on sending kids back to school - an advocate for normalcy and fighting the hype!
I love conservative mom. She's the best.
The first time I heard about HCQ was on her show and that was like 2 weeks into March. She was first.
Well now that they're doing online classes, why not register your kid with a private school that's the best for them! Why be stuck with your sucky closed school with subpar technology? Trump wants to tie the funding to the kids and parents, not the school, that's what that means. It's a win-win for everyone!

These idiots are gonna make Trump break the union.
It seems like they are sowing the seeds of there own destruction.
It is as if the uaw were demanding more autoassembly robots because they didnt want to come to work.
Yeah except that they're still expecting to be paid without working. Truly, commie fuckwits.
unions for any public service need to end. i cant fucking stand teachers unions. makes my blood boil
My wife works in a small charter school and I hear all the time about how the public school district and teachers union are constantly trying to fuck them over. They really don't give a damn about the kids or improving their education. The union should really be broken up. I don't see any other way.
Homeschool.
Its 40 weeks. We work 40 weeks including weeks of training and professional development. We take that salary for 40 weeks, and we can opt to only be paid during those 40 weeks, or spread it out over all 12 months so we don't have to go without a paycheck over the summer.

You fucking cunt.
Teacher pede here. My district is doing a hybrid model. I need to get back full time so that I can push back against the leftist indoctrination
By the way, you fucking idiot, I do work over the summer. A lot of teachers do.
And I have personally reached out to my state teachers' union and told them they are over-reaching and that we need to be back in the classroom and back to work.
Maybe you can stop generalizing all teachers for a fucking minute and remember that conservative, Trump-loving teachers are on your side. I can't fight bullshit from the left and deal with assholes on the right at the same time.
The other guy is me.
And yeah, you should qualify your statements if you're talking about a certain type of people in a profession.
You don't see me shitting all over the entirety of construction workers or Auto Mechanics when I have a problem with a small group of them.
I agree that teachers who are refusing to work are whining. I don't agree that all teachers are "lazy bastards".
Nah see, you claimed that we are "lazy bastards" that "have it so easy".
Now you claim we "knew what we were getting into". So you admit that we have a lot of issues that teachers face. You admit that we do plenty of work.
So which is it? Are we lazy bastards or do we actually have a job with its own challenges LIKE EVERYONE ELSE?
We aren't asking for sympathy or to be treated like a some grand special profession that's better than anyone else. No teacher thinks that.
We are asking to be treated like a fucking human being. Calling us lazy bastards was crossing a line.
Sorry ive seen to many nightmare teachers skate until retirement. I dont buy that this is common.
From your lips to God's ear Laura.

Yeah! Dismantle/ abolish (whatever they are saying these days) the teacher unions! ❌🚫❌
Teaches may prove non essential.
Very much so.
Unions used to be integral to make sure the workers were being treated fairly. This in turn got the government off their ass to provide basic rules for workers. After that unions really turn into a money-making machine for themselves. Today unions are becoming government-run institutions which is complete b*******.
Public sector unions have to go.
“May?”
Fuck them. We don't need them and their marxists agenda.
Far past time. The unions are a primary source of the Marxist indoctrination and protect the worst of the worst. It's no mystery as to why education standards have fallen so precipitously.
These teachers are cheering on the demise of the future of their chosen career, this whole Covid situation showed us how that "remote learning" can reduce the need for physical buildings and any jobs that are need to maintain the buildings. Why in the future would we need more teachers, custodians, and school food service workers? This changes the dynamic of education, and makes them an endangered species.....say good by to your pensions you morons!
Teachers are just babysitters.
Teacher’s union was never “essential”. Defund and disband.
