Fairfax County Schools to Reopen with ‘Classroom Monitors’ as Thousands of Teachers Stay Home

Teachers: It's too dangerous for us to go back to school!

Also the teachers: It's okay to have classroom monitors go in our place.

Wow. Fairfax has sunken to the Chicago level. Must be really proud to be the equal of Chicago.

[lee martell]

These teachers are going to make it clear that they can be replaced.

If teachers are not teaching in the classroom, they should be laid off. Let them collect union benefits and unemployment until they return to work or find new work. Bet faced with that, they'd be back to work next week.

Too many, most, government workers got a year of paid vacation, time for that to end!!!

These teachers can just go work in the solar industry.

what a racket

“We acknowledge that no situation is risk-free, but the risks are greater in not returning students at this time,” said Fairfax Schools Superintendent Scott Brabrand. “Our president has asked for this, and we must come together now.”
Can't seem to recall them being so accommodating under Trump.

Gee, what could go wrong?

[EasySt]

The teachers need to be fired this very minute, and their jobs given to the
monitors, or someone else willing to do the job.

They can also reclaim abandoned land mines!

[A Navy Vet]

Learn to write code.

[alternatives?]

The teachers are demonstrating to their students that the teachers’ safety is more important than the monitors and the students. Not exactly leading by example. It does, however, demonstrate quite convincingly, the underlying ethics and morality of the ruling class of the school and current society in general.

In a sane world, these communist-supporting scumbags would have had no salary since the schools closed...

Basically, the communist union enabled them to retire at “full” salary...
No way they want to come out of retirement...

IMHO, good... Absolutely nothing taught in the government schools has any value other than being pure propaganda designed to destroy our once-great Nation...

Well, maybe the poor kids will get lucky and not be pumped as full of lies and propaganda with “Monitors” as they would be with the typical Certified Teacher.

sorry but most teachers are there because they couldn't pass higher math and science courses and getting an education degree is about the simplest way to get any degree....I had a friend who went to college for pharmacy...she was tied up in study, labs, library, etc...her fiancé who was studying "education" rarely studied....

I think this practice of escaping to "education" degrees started during the Nam war....many guys just got into college to take any courses just so they could avoid the draft.

Fire all the bass turds. Cut off their money. Then we’ll see.

We can only hope...

[JerryBlackwell]

Can’t they just wear a mask? Or two? Or is it up to three now? Don’t the masks keep us safe?

[Fai Mao]

When academic a hievement does not tank, the tea hers should be fired and schools of education closed.
