In a popular media trend of late, the needs of “parents” are pitted against those of teachers' unions. But which “parents” are we really discussing here?
As a teacher and a parent I believe that schools should be the last thing to get shut down. School-avoidant students and students with IEPs (special education) were completely screwed in the 2020-2021 school year of remote learning.
Having said that, it completely sucks to see how many schools are not "doing school" because so many damn staff and faculty are out sick. It's become just child care. That isn't sustainable either.
Right on. Write on!
Parents will trust the teacher - certainly more than the school board
