Under the re opening blueprint released by EBR children will receive face to face instruction 2 days a week but the children of EBR teachers will receive face to face 4 days a week. Why are teachers’ children the exception? While parents are scrambling to adjust jobs, find childcare, rearrange schedules, etc., why are teachers not expected to do the same? At the very least it is bad optics.
Many parents can work from home. Under this setup, the teachers cannot work from home.
But if they are doing an A/B schedule, doesn't that mean that the teachers kids just get the same info back to back days? Not like they are learning anything extra.

I’m trying to figure out what you are trying to say with your post but I keep getting hung up that a job that provides reduced costs of caskets has a cell phone plan

And many cannot. What about them? Are they going to allow those that cannot work from home to send their children to school 4 days a week?

Depends on the class right? Some teachers may assign work to be done at home every day, and operate as a completely flipped class room.

Sounds like the teachers ARE going back to school and ARE doing their job.
It's the "every kid in school, every day" thing that is the issue here.
The issues, frankly, are overcrowded schools, busses, and other anciliary services like breakfast/lunch.
Down in St. Bernard where life is hard, K-8 kids are going to school every day. High school will do a mix of virtual and in-person. But we don't have overcrowded K-8 schools.

Why is this the alternative? Why can’t teachers pay for 3 days a week childcare like the rest of the working population?
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm starting to question the capacity we have for all this child care.
In the summer, kids go to summer camps, which are held at the schools, so that's not an option.

This hybrid schooling idea is stupid and all its doing is putting stress on working parents who have the struggle to find childcare for half the week, adjust their work schedules, or take a reduction in hours/pay. Meanwhile you're putting older people at risk of being exposed to the rona because a lot of families won't have any other choice but to send their kids to the grandparents house 3 days a week while mom and dad are at work.

Teachers are going back to school. I agree kids should be going every day, but that is not what the powers that be want. I think all kids should be in school 5 days a week.

What I really think is starting to happen (my BIL in Houston is looking to do this for his kids now) is that some stay at home mom’s or private tutors or someone along those lines is essentially going to hold small, private classes at someone’s house each day. They will probably have 5-10 kids and make sure during the off days that the students are doing their work.
This would lessen the burden on individual families, allow socialization

Cohort A is going to go to class Monday and do work from home on Tuesday.
Cohort B is going to go to class Tuesday, and do work from home on Wed.
Cohort A is going to go to class on Wed, check homework from Tuesday, and get more work to do at home on Thursday.
Cohort B is going to go to class on Thurs, check homework from Wed, and get more work to do at home on Friday.
Rinse, repeat.

No one is denying this is a huge issue. If the system has the capacity to take care of some of these children, but not all, that's better than them taking care of none of these children, right?
At my job, I can sometimes screw around on TD, take a nice lunch every day with a client and charge it off / write it off, use our firm tickets to football games, etc. I get a lot of perks. Most employees do. This is a perk for being a teacher, if you want to look at it this way.
This might come as a surprise to you, but teachers get other perks as well. They can often choose which school to send their kid to, pick their kids teachers, etc.

Yeah. Again, it's a question of capacity. I don't know where in Houston your BIL lives, but a place like Katy has more stay at home moms than inner-city Houston. There's also more money to be able to pay someone's stay at home mom to watch the kids.

This would potentially increase the number of people a child is exposed to during the week.
Normal school week means exposure to the same people day to day.
Modified week where parents might have to find daycare for kids half the time basically doubles the amount of people a kid is exposed to, and maybe mixes groups if kids that attend different schools are watched together.
Dumb plan.

Probably cause they still don’t know what year will look like
They are asked to become nurses as well when parents bring their sick kids to school anyway

Even parents that work from home still struggle with the online schooling. You basically have to be an additional IT department, Principle and teacher all while having to do your own job.
Elementary school kids doing online learning is not the same as high school or college online learning.

This is so true and it seems that the state is hell bent on not distinguishing.
