Selling your students short is a bad look for you.

And anyone else.

The wifes union told her to start preparing for eLearning in the fall. I dont think there is any way to try and have these kids together and not expect the infection rates to soar. I know mine are absolutely disgusting and I cant imagine any other grade school or Jr. High kids are very sanitary. Maybe they start to worry about cleanliness in HS a bit a lot of those kids would probably walk around coughing on each other thinking it is the funniest thing in the world.

Cliff notes version, conns, please. Jeebus that thing is archaic.


I was looking for a stat like: 47% of private school teachers hold certificates in their subject matter as compared to 54% of public school instructors.

I just made that up as an example, clearly. I don't think either is true, much less what was originally posted as "MOST are not qualified" to teach.

Starting to hear rumblings that ELearning will be the order of the day for next school year.

May not be a way to avoid it if they don't get a handle on this

I just do not see how that is even possible. It is basically just punting on our kids education for a year. So many are not capable of doing this and will get nothing.

Considering that you have done nothing but offend everyone in the educational system for the past 4 weeks Ifeel quite comfortable making that remark.
You constantly claim that teachers do not care simply because they aren't willing to place themselves in an environment in which it is likely that they would contract a highly contagious disease.

I have previously attempted to explain that social distancing is impossible in a public school situation and not once have I seen you take it into account. I just told you that 2 children that I know have already died. Most likely from this. Not once did you reference it. You asked a question regarding why it makes a difference that it may have happened in school? Well because if it happened in school then obviously it was something that could have been avoided.

You even became upset because teachers weren't willing to sign a waiver. I presume simply so that your child can be out of the house. At no point have you ever considered anyone else's perspective but your own. With this being the case it wasn't really difficult to ascertain that you are self absorbed and rather self consumed.

Everyone's life has been effected. Not just yours. And if teachers or students were to succumb because they were placed in an environment that everyone knew was unsafe then their life as well as their loved ones are going to be effected even more.

Schools weren't shut down because of "greedy" teachers or even "incompetent" politicians. Schools were shut down because of the recommendations of people (doctors and scientists) that know and understand a helluva lot more about this than either you or I. Unlike you I tend to trust them and their assessment. If schools were opened and one of your children were to succumb because they contracted the virus there is no doubt that you would blast both the school and the system. You know what? you should because they placed your child in an unsafe and unhealthy environment. After you finish blaming them the next person that you should blame is yourself for choosing to do exactly the same thing.

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

In CPS 100% of the teachers currently providing instruction are State Board Certified. Majority of the subs are too. That doesn't include charters. The overwhelming majority of their staff is not certified.

As far as Private Schools go I'm comfortable with that assessment.

I don't think your life has been effected, you're fine with not working. I think you are content with how things are and will be. You don't care. If that's the position you want to take that's fine but own it.

No I'm dealing with it as most sane and rational people are doing. It's out of my control. I also understand that there are more important things than babysitting your children for you right now.

If they ask me to return to school tomorrow I'd have no problem returning. As far as the actual instruction goes it doesn't really impact me as much as I mostly work on the administrative side these days. And have for the past 15 years or so.

Unlike you I happen to take the opinions of the actual experts into account and not that of a person whose only concern is emptying out her crib at 8 in the morning.

IF the CPS is 100% certified, I am impressed. That seems impossible in today's school situation, not Covid, but pre-Covid.

But, you made the remark that the majority of private school teachers are not QUALIFIED to teach, which I think is a wholly different accusation than certification. Perhaps you find the two equivalent, I'm not sure they are.

It's not safe to go to school.

You have contempt for the people you are educating/"helping".

I have never understood the need for certification to be a substitute. If it is a long term substitute for an illness or something then clearly that is needed, but just to be a fill in here and there it is not needed.

In Missouri you just need 60 hours of college credit.

Yes it is.

All the more reason for you to Home School


And you have contempt for those unwilling to kill themselves for the purpose of babysitting your child for you. I'd prefer to call it even.

Chicago should go back to requiring simply a bachelor's degree in order to substitute. In your larger schools some days its murder. In some instances you might need upwards of 20 substitutes.

It also prevents people who didn't major in education at the undergrad level from exploring the profession once they graduate from school. I know a number of people who entered the profession after first starting out as substitutes.

You are proving my point.

I can only imagine how hard it is to find subs. That is crazy.

I don't think it's that hard out in the suburbs. I know some people that do it. Fuck, I bet I'm qualified. Seems like an okay gig.

None of them are ever young. I started as substitute when was 22 and fresh out of undergrad. Couldn't find a gig met a woman that was a teacher one day while playing basketball at the park who happened to be a teacher. She walked me through it and told me to go get the sub certificate and it changed my life. Told some of my guys about it and we all did the same thing. Some of us went on to grad school and got certified while others went in other directions.

I often think about it now as with the current rules none of us would be allowed to do it. They are losing out on a ton of young prospective teachers as a result. The vast majority are either displaced or retired at this stage.

YES!

I'm super qualified to teach!!!!!
