Oh I'm sorry. I guess it's real freedom when people are forced to get a jab. Yeah, that' makes sense.

This is the epitome of the problem with our health care experts. Dr Jha has positioned himself at the forefront of the pandemic. And when he tweets something like this, it only entrenches people, from both “sides.” Its meant to encourage inflammatory responses. And it tells me he has no interest in discussion, just obedience.

So you don’t think there are people that believe they have life-long immunity after they had Covid?

So teachers are only worth it when they perform critical services for free. Got it.

Evidently you don’t understand the term “critical” if you’re defending these slackers.

I think Knox county parents would be surprised if they just provided the basic services for which they are paid.

Which basic services are not being provided by "the teachers"?

Yes. Time was added to the school day in the 1990s in order to bank up to fifteen inclement condition days per year. In years when there are no snow or flu days, teachers have fifteen extra student contact days above the amount required by the state.

Teachers are not paid for holidays or breaks. A school system may provide the service of normalizing paychecks so that they receive payment during these uncompensated periods by lowering the amount received during the contract period.

Okay, I'm ready to scrum with you on the teacher pay and benefit scale. Students are required to receive 180 days of school instruction a year, that is 1440 hours a year, add in another month worth of time for extra days, grading papers etc and you at 1600 hours a year. Normal worker bee's are required to work 40/week for a total of 2080 hours a year and for the most part benefits are less and salary might be a little better. Now explain to me how teachers are underpaid when you add in hours worked, salary and benefits paid.

I never brought up the point that teachers were over/under paid as part of this conversation. Did I? I'm going to have to go back and check. Getting old sucks

And individual teachers make the decision as to whether that happens?

I know, hide, play the game.

I missed the effort by them to say “we’ll teach” no matter how many are out. We will get creative and make it happen. Oh that’s right that would never happen. They are public school teachers.

What are the state rules regarding number of credentialed adults required per student present during the school day?

You are saying that you would prefer school systems violate Tennessee Code Annotated and recommendations from the State Department of Education and system legal counsel and risk court action.

I’d prefer they teach. Get it going online, consolidate classes in school, quit being incompetent adults.

That work for you?

Damn straight and unlike you when you were in school I haven't taken a day off during this "pandemic". I've worked my butt off to make sure the dumb decisions by the state and local school boards affect the students as little as possible. I hope you aren't a parent because if you are I know for a fact that your kids would be one of the little pos that are constantly disrupting class because their parents are too busy to teach them how to act in a public setting

I would prefer they teach, too. Curriculum takes time to adjust; what is the correct amount of time to adjust from in person to online in a way that honors IEPs and 504s, differentiates based on intervention requirements, and functionally moves paper resources into responsive electronic?

Classes can only consolidate to a certain size per state law. I keep saying the law part and it keeps being ignored.

There's a point where "I don't care, just do it" stops being a functional answer and becomes a setup for failure. I believe you want them to fail. And that's depressing.

It appears our tribe has caught the insidious corvid. I feel like I've got the same cold I've had off and on for the last 3 months, wife about the same. Son says his shin hurts which he attributes to the virus. I am going to give it another day before I start digging shallow graves in the backyard.

Oh I am a parent. And your assessment of my kids is exactly what I would expect from a teacher, ignorance.
