“As a teacher this is so discouraging to read. If you feel your tax money is going all to the school and the teachers are “ineffective” move elsewhere. My districts teachers have zero say in the decisions happening. It is sad you place blame on teachers being lazy when several go above and beyond to help children succeed and please parents. Remote learning in the spring was far from a vacation for me, it was difficult but I would rather do that than potentially get sick or infect a family member. Don’t diminish teachers, they are the ones who are with your kids all day.”
Everyone is for hire and their comp is based on performance, supply and demand. And everyone has to take feedback from their employers. In this case, taxpayers. Crying about it is immature and unprofessional. Posts such as this make me wonder what the heck snow flake teachers are teaching our kids. How to be like them? How to resist their own parents while demanding freebies? How to be entitled and avoid adversity?
Bottom line is, if you’re a teacher who doesn’t want to work in person, I have zero interest in hiring you. And the only reason we have this conversation is because the union forces me to accept conditions I’d rather not. I want the best, highly motivated teachers to teach my kids. And I have no problem paying fair market salary for such service and show my appreciation when my children succeed.
What I definitely don’t want is a complainer like you. Go work in Patterson remotely. I’m sure they’ll appreciate you better than these evil, privileged Ridgewood parents who have the audacity to demand the best for their children. This is a high performance village and we expect high performance from the school.
Obviosly you didn’t attend school in Ridgewood. If you did, you would know how to spell Paterson.
