Agreed we should cut salaries of everyone working from home
That only applies if those working from home are sending their work off for someone else to do.

Because learning isn't just teachers lecturing on videos. Students will still do homework, projects, etc. That all needs to be graded. And if you're in a public school with ECE students in your classes or a mix of AP/Honors/Regular you have to provide differential instruction.
right, because there's no such thing as online testing and automated grading.

What bothers me the most about the current state of schooling is the fact that it has been decided to go all virtual in some districts. That's fine, whatever.
But, ever since the announcement to go all virtual, more districts have been trying to figure out how to have "school" without the school. Meaning, they are offering childcare programs at community centers and other places where, for so many hours a day, the kids can bring their supplies, use the internet, and tutors will even be available if the kids need help!
That IS school. However, it uses childcare workers, volunteers, and private tutors. None of those groups are unionized and none have collective bargaining power. Why are those people more expendable than teachers?

LSU students constantly bitch about the testing center and how their math and accounting tests are graded.
You want that for first graders? Factory education? Seig heil, comrade comeaux.

Not completely, the child care centers aren’t doing the lesson plan and lesson delivery. Not saying they couldn’t, but they don’t. So functionally, you’re paying them to be teaching assistants.
I do agree with the larger point you’re hinting at. The traditional K-12 model is incredibly dated. Obviously everyone wants a safe return to the building, but If school systems let this alternative arrangement drag out too long they run the risk of rendering themselves irrelevant.

Virtual learning is going to be the new norm.
Nashville is outsourcing it and Knoxville is considering it. Teachers are only hurting themselves.

most places that are all virtual learning are setting up "community centers" where you can drop your kids off to do virtual learning with other kids and "counselors"...
...I'm not joking
Geez. That's not happening here.

It'll only magnify the inequalities between the rich and the poor in this country.

Well, it is public school and paid for by others. You get what you pay for.

I mean, this is literally the situation parents across America are demanding an answer to while entitled teachers go on Facebook and say "I'm not your kid's babysitter" (another direct quote from a teacher in this system).
For now, our company is allowing her to work split shifts and flex days off, while her husband works 50 hours a week at home, attempting to balance his actual job with this other bullshite.
I thank god every day I have a toddler, I have no idea what we'd do if she was in school.
