Teachers truly have proven themselves to be inessential workers and destroyed what little goodwill they had going for them by their extremely selfish behavior of failing to educate a generation of children over this novel, but not at all seriously deadly, virus.

Mine are in private school too and we’ve not shut down once, don’t wear masks, and haven’t had a single case.

Meanwhile, the public school shuts down seemingly every week from a positive case and the teachers end up vacationing with pay.

Weird.

but what exactly are conservatives triggered by in this video?


It’s the pervasive attitude in the teaching union ranks that teachers are somehow at more risk than your average grocery store clerk, mill worker or businessman. Study after study has shown that children are the least likely to spread or catch covid, and private schools and public schools In many states have already shown that in person teaching is safe.
Yet the teachers, teachers unions and school boards in many states still pretend to need a list of ultimatums to work, and behind the scene actions like this show their utter disdain for not only students, but parents. What’s not to get?!

Well, are they wrong?


I think they
probably want their kids to be taught how to read and write and do some math.

There should be a big push in the next school board election to purge those arseholes.

Yes. Teachers just want an extended paid summer vacation.

The Amish kids in PA test among the top students in the state. Their elementary schools are taught by junior high school girls.

I am so glad my kids do not go to public schools.

I have an email everyday from my kids' teachers checking in on them and wanting me to let them know they can't wait to get back in the classroom. To top it off these teachers make about 80% of what public school teachers make.

Of course, there are nearly zero "problems" in the classrooms.

To be fair, both sides have a point IMO.

Plenty of parents want their kids to learn and be successful, plenty of others do see school as a daycare

I'm willing to guess the flavor of this person sight unseen.

With what I’ve seen coming out of our public education system, IMO teachers are babysitters and liberal indoctrinators. Certainly not educators.

Nope.

Lots of shitty teachers out there. She might be one of them. But there are also lots of shitty parents who want someone else to raise their kids
