Fuck this BS. My 8th grader got cooking as an elective that will be online wtf is the point. They are keeping all these teachers on the payrolls that have jobs that don't work online.

Jesus... Cooking of all things. That's literally one area where I know the internet would be able to teach your kid better than a physical teacher or them doing it remotely by a teacher probably just grabbing the stuff from the internet anyway. Makes no sense.
My own mom cooked the same shit every week basically, so I was never taught anything with regards to cooking. Self taught myself through the internet and literally now get requests from people for me to cook stuff for weddings and other events. It's a top 5 hobby for me, so maybe that helps me to be into it, but paying a teacher a salary to do that is pure stupidity. There are 100+ really good cooking channels on youtube alone that a m...
I just cant get over some of the teachers still getting paid for this online shit.
Our elementary school sent us a schedule with only 3 days of online classes and two days of fucking nothing.
. Maybe my district is small, but their computer education is substantially inadequate. From simple things like email and not including all the email addresses of the class roster for everyone to see. BCC is there for a reason. I really don't want certain people knowing my email address.

If you are teaching my kids while being paid my tax dollars you better believe I'll want a say in what you are teaching them, you fucking cunt you.

"I haveta work so many hours".
Think about a typical 3rd grade teacher. Say she gives two 10 multiple choice quizes a day to 25 students. How long does it take? 1 Minute if it's right or wrong per quiz, maybe 2 if abundant feedback or "Half Checks" are given. 5 hours of classroom intrux and maybe an hour of "other duties" at the school. At most, with abundant feedback, it takes an hour of grading, which can usually done while hall monitoring or in the breakroom. 7 hours of work a day, plus 3.5-4 months off combined holidays/breaks. On top of that, most teachers get at least 10-16 hours worth of "personal time" a month for sickness/additional time off. So a 35 hour week job only 66% of the year, which pays a minimum of $30k for the first year no experience just about any and everywhere, and can easily translate to $100k in 10-15 years.
Younger kids need to go back. Don't onow what we are going to do on the days we have to both be at work. The is really hurting the middle class and probably destroying the poor.
They keep up this bull shit, they will lose their jobs and they won't come back. There will be a defund school movement if they keep this up. Teachers are shooting themselves in the foot.
I hope the schools are still open where I'm moving next month so far that's the plan there. CA is asshole.
As a public employee myself--a public school teacher--I have the right to say that despite what many of my colleagues believe, we as public employees should not have the right to unionize. I also believe that public teachers should by law be prohibited from striking (actually, no public employee should be allowed to strike). No other than Franklin Delano Roosevelt himself said he didn't believe government employees should be permitted to unionize. He was right.
Some might say I'm hurting myself by daring to speak out against my own interests. Hogwash. I simply am smart enough and unselfish enough to realize that I hold a unique position as a taxpayer-paid employee. I am presently a member of a teacher's union and while in the business world was a member of several unions, from the CWA and IBEW to the Teamsters to the SEIU. (Only the Teamsters did I like or respect, FWIW.)
I'm sorry, fellow teachers, but our jobs are vastly different from private sector jobs. We are paid by the taxpayers, every day citizens. As such, we owe them a duty to perform our jobs, which aren't the same as private sector jobs. When we sluff off on the job, when we strike, we cause greater harm to the public than does a striking UPS plant or a striking Caterpillar plant or a striking UAW plant.
Every person in NYC who protested budget cuts--as if no one in the private sector is experiencing budget cuts, those NYC employee bastards--should be fired. Immediately. Fire every damn one of them and forever forbid them from holding a public sector job again.
Public employees should not be allowed to unionize at all.

Now the teachers unions have managed to also fuck over working parents. People with jobs are expected to quit them to stay home with the kids and homeschool them. Regardless of their budgets of course. The only thing that matters to the teachers is that they get to stay home and still get paid.
Now the LA Unified School District has authorized free daycare for teachers who are parents, so they have someplace other than home (which is where they will be) to send their rug rats so they won’t have to care for them while “teaching online” everyone else’s kids who don’t get free day care.
In my neighborhood there are several gyms which have opened as daycare/schools able to provide daycare for school aged kids with staff who can help the kids with their online lessons. This costs $155-200/week and goes until 3PM same as a regular school day. Working parents who can’t be home with their kids to help them are expected to shell out $650-800/month per kid to “educate” their kids while public schools we all pay for are shuttered because teachers are scared of Covid. But NOT too scared to send their own kids to day cares as long as the school district pays for that!
Fuck teachers unions. Seriously.

It’s in the article, buried:
“Teachers also will be provided with child care.”
