Fall School

[kevwr1962]

That's ridiculous. If you don't trust teachers with cleaning supplies it's surprising you'd let them alone with children. The lack of respect for professional educators is appalling.

I guess it is me going through at least a box of pencils a week. I better stop that.

Another twist in a school's plan:

The school board where my daughter teaches decided yesterday to do all remote learning for the students. But the twist is that all teachers must do the remote teaching from their classroom. The reason is so teachers can still collaborate with their peers.

I'm glad you're daughter's district made the switch! I know a few teachers who have to teach from their classrooms, too. Some are frustrated because that means they have to leave their own school age kids at home.

Dunlap is supposed to start today but they have several staff member in quarantine so we'll see how it goes!

Well, my daughter had planned to put her 19-month old son in daycare no matter what.

D150's teachers must report to school to teach. Guess that may foil a few plans to teach from the beaches of Cabo.

with that sweet check and guaranteed pension after only a couple of years teaching, I would think they would!

If that really were the case, I should have stopped teaching 31 years ago!

Update. Apparently my daughter's school board met for 4.5 hours yesterday....without an answer or decision. Teachers were scheduled to report today anyway, regardless of type of learning. I believe students were expected back on Thursday. My wife said she got a text after 10 pm last night about this 'indecision', and the school board was meeting again tonight. Oh brother..

(I realize this is not a Peoria area school, but nice to compare what other schools are trying to do.)

there are certainly pros and cons to both sides of the issue. I'm am pro schools opening, but if it goes to hell rapidly I'm not unwilling to change my opinion.

If you call sweet $25500 a year less than the last job I had before teaching.......
