They're too scared to run in-person classes. Not willing to spend the time and effort to help parents shift to online learning. And the teacher's unions and school administrators have been trying to strangle Home and Private schooling out of existence for decades. So again, what do they want to do?

When I've heard them talking about this on social media, I couldn't believe how over the top they were in their hysteria about possible DEATH - for themselves!<br /><br />Clearly, they have worked themselves into a state of frenzy; they do seem to honestly believe that their lives will be in jeopardy, should they return in the fall (or, for that matter, until there is a vaccine available).<br /><br />For some, retirement would make sense - they are still wanting to continue teaching, but their health is fragile, due to pre-existing conditions. But, they are fighting for online schooling, rather than what is a sensible alternative - retirement for them.<br /><br />Some of the younger teachers have other reasons to fear - they are fat - morbidly obese. I'm not just talking about a few post-pregnancy pounds, but the kind of overweight that makes walking very far a serious problem.<br /><br />I gained weight, too, but am currently exercising and dieting to take it off (which, given the higher risk, is a good idea for most of us).<br /><br />It's time for the parents to call their bluff - they can stay out, if they accept unemployment as their compensation. No guarantee of a job if they later return.Linda Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024201252345608291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-46548344999363099842020-08-03T13:49:59.197-04:002020-08-03T13:49:59.197-04:00maybe she should aspire for a "safer" vo... maybe she should aspire for a "safer" vocation in the military or law enforcement.<br /><br />Such a novel idea! :)Brock Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404173139501539265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-29973420876868177972020-08-03T13:49:10.996-04:002020-08-03T13:49:10.996-04:00 The teachers are pissed at the unions.

That is exactly what this is all about. Lame excuses like teachers feeling uncomfortable of teleconferencing from home because of anguish over a messy home is just that, a lame excuse. It and other lame excuses are the unions doubling down because there is push back against the union's demands.<br /><br />Incidentally, the whole business about teacher's anxiety started with a union rep in Florida. Unions across the country have picked up on it. They see the back to school craze as a golden opportunity to make demands, demands that mostly have nothing to do with teaching or students.<br /><br />There have been teacher's conference where the teachers discuss with each other their concerns and problem solving. They have discussed 'green screens' as a backdrop when video teaching from home. The teachers are pissed at the unions. Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15452530649659364201noreply@blogger.com
