Opening up all Schools and Youth Sports now

[happy9]

No one told me I had to stay home. I've been teaching on the computer and working all day from my campus. Along with meeting with admin, talking to students who are on campus, communicating with parents, writing reports, running meetings, etc. This is a naïve response. What do you do?

I honestly think the frustration isn't necessarily geared towards teachers. I know and know of plenty of teachers that are going above and beyond for their kids. It's the hijacking of the message by Teachers Unions across the country that is pissing people off. And not just the common folk, city and state governments are getting pissed. At the end of the day, the stake holders that are hurt the most are the kids who were already struggling to just make it into a classroom.

My school district has been in person since SEP. Teachers have left, most have stayed.

IKR. Teachers don’t care if they die at work. How dare these fat cat union leaders make all these safety demands “on their behalf” when we all know per Qwatfly that the money is really going into the pockets of union leaders in the form of “commissions”. We know they’re really just illegal kickbacks.

The issue are the blanket and naïve comments, that attack teachers. Specifically identifying a particular union/district is one thing, saying there all sabotaging the return to school through generalizations makes no sense. There are more unions working with their districts to try to get on campus and prepare campuses for return. My campus has been ready since the summer, but county/state government conditions prevent students returning.

I love how a union stating its position that it is looking out for the health and welfare of its members constitutes “hijacking the message”. Also love the folks here claiming that the union is going to retaliate against anyone who disagrees, as if they’re going to break their kneecaps.

I guess I know what you mean. How is the media just not reporting the bodies stacking up all over the country. Must be the conspiracies you are talking about. Thanks for shedding light.

I think the media has done a pretty good job discussing the more than half a million people who have died so far. That’s a lot of bodies. A lot.

So the UNIONS have the best interest of the kids at heart? Is that what you are saying. And spare me the drama..but go ahead if you must. Seems like today you Identify as a Union leader...Yesterday it was an ECNL employee. It's ok to identify though..

So strange that $4.5 of the $6.5 billion package goes to develop programs to help students catch up from what was lost over the last year. And a significant portion of the remainder goes to making structural classroom changes to help reduce spread and also to help high risk kids continue learning without having to sit next to all your covid denying magat spawn.

It’s almost like, no exactly like, your whiny magat narrative that the unions don’t care about students is just utter b.s.

About $42B was allocated last year to the education sector. Most of that to public schools,. How much more do you want to give them? Was $42B not enough? Nice buzz words though, - structural classroom changes, Magat spawn, etc. I can tell you are a remarkably successful business person.

Do they get in their car and drive to work? If so, they are taking a risk. Last I checked the mortality rate for Covid was somewhere south of .05%....I’m starting to think you right the scripts for what the news anchors say right before commercial break.

Can I ask a soccer question?

The new guidelines state no more than 2 teams at a tournament, (is it even a tournament then??) Anyway, does this prohibit us in any way from leaving the state?

He has zero ability to think for himself..he only regurgitates news from CNN and he repeats it over and over and over again...he just keeps repeating himself over and over and over again. It's so old

• Teams must not participate in out-of-state games and tournaments; several multistate outbreaks have been reported around the nation, including California residents.

I think the no more than 2 teams is also referring to events like track and Xcountry, where there multiple teams

Thank you for clarifying. This is what I get for trying to multitask while working!

500,000 people have not died in car accidents. The utility of driving also outweighs the risk of the few deaths that occur, while the risk of teaching in person when you can instead do it remotely does not.

The risk of dying of covid might be .15 overall (you are lying about the .05), but it’s a hell of a lot higher for a teacher and their family members when you force them into a room with 30 kids, and then another, and then another, five times a day at the height of a pandemic before they’ve been vaccinated.

I get that this magat argument about cars is appealing to the brain dead, but it’s a brain dead argument. You aren’t weighing the relative risks, you aren’t considering the relative utility of the behaviors, you aren’t considering the existence of feasible alternatives. Nope, you’re just grasping at whatever strawman argument you can make to rationalize what you want. This is the one of the reasons unions exist - to protect members from idiots who don’t care about their health, welfare or safety. Good for the unions.

YESSS!!! Bonus points for getting , “straw man”and “magat” in the same response....winning is fun!

You should try it some time.

“Teachers you are accountable for what your union does.”
This is a load of crap. You think that CTA speaks for all teachers or even the majority! Keep thinking the vast majority of teachers are going along with this! I don’t! But, I’m all of sudden accountable because they are acting independently! Kinda like a state official I didn’t vote for who pushed legislation I disagree with, right? I’m accountable because I live in their jurisdiction.
*This is also a separate union that does not represent me at the district level. But, obviously I have the president of CTA personal number.

I agree, I have heard from many teachers that they don’t agree with what CTA is doing. They want to be back in the classrooms immediately

Then actively join the fight...a large, loud, and unified voice coming from teachers demanding to be back in the classroom "immediately" would have a big impact!

Unfortunately, It's been a year, I'm not holding my breath.
