Back in my day there was no such thing as the internet. We had to carry home paper worksheets and an Encyclopedia Britannica Set, Thesaurus and Dictionary that together weighed 50 lbs. They didn't offer breakfast at school, and if you didn't have money for lunch you didn't eat.

Teachers are not paid to teach from home. We already have to go to school more days than the students.

If you get a month off, we do too.

Deal with it.

Well, this year they had already built TWENTY days into the calendar just in case there are long winter, snow events. TWENTY days = 4 weeks or one month. Since we only used one snow day before this happened, the teachers should still get paid whether they have to do remote learning or not.

Read this on dcum and found it interesting and will try to summarize;

FCPS can’t legally require graded work because this would open them up to lawsuits that online learning is not available or adaptive to special needs/IEP/foreign language students. In other words, asking all students to access online lessons leaves out those with handicaps, supports, mental challenges or even any without online access and so they are unable to educate all. Something called IDEA was cited. Suggestions only.

You are 100% correct. Access is the most difficult piece. Teachers and the county will provide learning opportunities, but it can’t be enforced or graded.

I'd scare the students with the homework assignment from hell by cell phone.

Then i'd be like when they got back in class: well it's ok if you didn't finish it all.

more fucking lies from democrats

all the learning material is already free

(infact - india is stealing books from USA libraries, slightly altering them, AND SELLING THEM TO THE NATIONAL LIBRARY - nancy pelosi hillary clinton buying them for our library system)

the idea fx co gov educators need $150,000 to play a role in online education: a total lie

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME

IN 2016 AND 2018 I TOOK A THOROUGH WALK THROUGH FX CO GOV CENTER (multiple buildings)

3/4 of the place was empty. the other building (welfare) - always full always illegal aliens lined up.

THE IDEA FX CO GOV ISN'T LOOKING FOR EXCUSES TO GET PAID $150,000/YR TO STAY HOME IS WRONG

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING

Half of TJ students have IEPs. Poor unfortunate pussies.

One Fairfax: Where we teach to the lowest common denominator, or not at all.

If the ESL student can't excel with online learning then

NO ONE WILL BE ALLOWED TO USE ONLINE LEARNING.

"online learning" provided by government is A HUGE SCAM of the democrat party

anyone can download a book off google, microsoft, or apple and read it

teachers have text messaging set up with their students

it's just like fx co gov to hire illegal aliens who's only objective is to get bernie in office

give them a chance: they go home paid leave don't want to keep the kids educated

it's about whether they are really teachers or not

it appears not

IT ALSO SHOWS THEY KNEW BEFORE IT STARTED THEY WEREN'T GOING TO GET TO GRADE - MEANING DEMOCRATS HAVE PLANNED THIS EXTENDED VACATION WOULD LAST INTO THE SUMMER

DEMOCRATS PLANNED THIS EXTENDED VACATION 100%

IT HAD NOTHIGN TO DO WITH VIRUS SPREAD BECAUSE WHEN THEY PLANNED IT NO NEWS ON THAT HAD YET BEEN RELEASED

Too many little Pablos with no computer access and too many lazy Karens too drunk by noon to help their kids. This is why can't grade anything. They decided it wouldn't be fair to the 11% of kids that don't have shitty parents and can actually do the work.

I'm 100% sure the democrats told the kids it was Trump's fault before telling them not to come back this year.
