Grossly OVERpaid is more like it.
Especially considering their finished product.
I have been eagerly awaiting this reaction for years.
Remember when the students and parents would sympathize with them, protest with them, agree with them.
It was sickening. Happy to see this
Let 2020 mark the resumption of the HOME & CHRISTIAN SCHOOLING that was once the norm here before the Marxists captured the GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS!
The video at the link has some info parents of school age kids need BEFORE they ship them off to become the NEXT GENERATION of brainless vandals now tearing the country apart.

finally falling out of favor.
Great post! Thanks!!
Omg! This is SOOO right on!!
NEA = Not Even Americans
AFT = American Federation of Tyrants
PING!
The teachers unions or “education associations” have been a strong lobby to higher pay, better working conditions and demanding states and local school districts throw untold amounts of money at schools and teachers. Their mantra has been if there is a problem, thrown more money at educations.
With most families of small children having to effectively either home school their children on their own this past spring, families are divided into two camps. Those that value education and are home schooling their children. The second is those who don't have the time, money, or energy to home school and are allowing their children to educationally fall behind.
Both groups have come to the conclusion that the school districts and their teachers don't really care about the education of their children during the Covid-18 closures. There are not many school districts that have communicated well with parent on education plans, lessons, computer software education that can be provided to the children.
As such, parents have come to the conclusion that schools and teachers “talk the talk, but don't walk the walk” of educating children. The teachers, their union and the school districts have shown their true colors.
I have watched the parents of my grandchildren take over the education of their children and found that their school district has done almost nothing to assist outside of some nice words.
As they are planning the education of my grandchildren this fall, their parents (my children) are complaining about how ill prepared the school district is for this fall and how teachers are not really providing much guidance. They are amazed that the teachers and school districts have done virtually nothing since last spring to prepare for this fall or to suggest resources for parents.
Some school districts may have better prepared, but that is not what I am seeing or hearing.
P.S. My wife was (and is still consulted with on various topics) an administrator at a university and the status of university preparation for instruction this fall is also in chaos. She has told me about tenured faculty, who have refused to modify how they will teach their courses, when the university administration has said they need to have maybe 80% of classes taught remotely.
Some Universities cannot afford the social distancing requirements to provide in-person learning opportunities, the janitorial Covid-19 daily sanitation requirements, or how to provide traditional services to students on campus. The lecture halls are way too crowded (every third row and every third or fourth chair in a row), the air ventilation systems are not COVID-19 compatible, to say nothing of the halls, elevators, stairwells.
Education will not be the same and that starts at the local K-12 schools. The educations system was not up to the challenge, parents have seen that the “commitment to educations” just isn't there and that the teachers are not the high morals spokespersons for children's educational needs.
“When school children start paying union dues, that ‘s when I’ll start representing the interests of school children.”- Albert Shanker, former NYC schools union boss
Once again it’s the middle class suburban moms at fault here and I hope the teachers unions shut down the schools and make these folks suffer at home with their dysfunctional kids.
Trump and Republicans seem to be pushing back to in-person schooling.
They should be pushing homeschooling pods and the transfer of resources from Department of Education (Federal and state/local) to these pods.
Yep, they didn't think this through and as much as I like deVois she is in over her head. They needed a strategy beginning 3 years ago to fight the teachers unions and insert competition, they need absolutely nothing.
