So are we in VA. One teacher had the nerve to ask what she is going to do about her child care!! The thread blew up on her and she ended deleting her FB.
Teacherpede here, this is what my school is requiring:
-Teachers report to the building as usual at same contract times.
-Teachers conduct synchronous online classes via Zoom/Google Meets during the allotted class time.
High risk teachers may work from home with doctor's note and provided they are able to offer the same, effective classes as their colleagues in the building.
This isn't a new idea. Schools are already planning on doing this.
Glad to hear! I hope that's a widespread practice. And I hope virtual schooling is being use in only the minority of "red zone" areas. Because parents have to work.
This is the standard practice right now, but as school systems try to do this on the cheap and use Google products, we'll be forced to go asynchronous.
Some of the districts around me have already gone to asynchronous for middle and high school as the cheap/free meeting apps are easily abused. Day one in a neighboring district was filled with kids streaming porn in the background, swearing in the chat stream, making memes and bullying other students, etc....
Follow-up: "Each teacher should get a dedicated room, just for them, so they don't have to worry about getting sick, or getting other people sick. If they don't want to do this, then it's just evidence they want to sit on their ass on their couch and collect a check."
Some states are considering waivers or relying on last year's attendance numbers. So, no, it won't be crippled.
Public schools will never go away. There are too many people who rely on them. Also, when is the last time a government program ever disappeared and wasn't replaced by something with more government involvement?
"Pulling your kids," should be done with prayerful consideration and an actual education plan in place before removing children. Preferably, parents have secured admission into a private school. I have taught way too many former homeschooled students whose parents had no clue how to homeschool and were behind their public school peers.
The national education association is worried that people will record the class and then give it away for free (because they been regurgitating the same bullshit for 40 years?
I would like to see an end to public education. All of the out of work teachers could start their own private school houses and they would be paid individually by the parents. If you can't afford to send your kids to school you shouldn't be having kids. If you don't have kids you shouldn't have to pay for someone else's kids. If some teachers are just teaching because it is their calling or whatever that's great they can volunteer their services.
We're doing this in our district in NJ and the teachers are losing their shit over it.

Bad parenting ruins it for everyone.

No show, you don't get paid. Hire conservative teachers to replace them and fix the education system

You could wake me out of a drunken stupor, and I would whip up a better curriculum than that recording, in less than an hour.
