Ridgewood High School, NJ: Substitutes and students in classrooms while teachers teach via video remotely
Parent at school | 13 September 2021 | Self

Posted on 09/13/2021 7:03:23 AM PDT by CodeToad

I got a call from a friend in Ridgewood, New Jersey, who said that Ridgewood High School teachers will be providing classroom instruction from home via video while substitute teachers monitor the class with the students present. It is claimed by the school that teachers are too valuable to be in the classroom and exposed to covid, so they are hiring substitute teachers to be in the classrooms to monitor the students. The students must be present in the classroom while wearing masks all day.

It seems substitute teachers must be expendable since they can be in the classroom, and the students must be expendable too.

“The Internet has made them totally obsolete.”

It has. And what this district is proving is that you don’t need actual certified, union members to be in the classroom.

This means districts can just purchase on-line lessons and hire non-union aides to monitor the students and keep them on task. No need for teachers anymore except for gym class and music and art.

“Parents want taxpayer-funded babysitting and the teachers want to be safe.
The teachers will know it’s safe enough to go back to the classroom when there no mask mandates, no social distancing requirements, and no group size limitations.”

I see it as they want to be lazy and not come to work.

Even the monitoring can be done remotely—I remember many years ago we had computer classes where the computer could track where you were in the lesson, if you needed help etc.

The excuses for the existence of schools are getting weaker and weaker by the day...

As for “specialty” items, those can be done remotely as well.

It just requires a small amount of planning and interest in doing so.

Imagine the school budget was zero and was going to stay zero. How would kids in town get educated? If you look at the issue that way, solutions become clearer.

Don’t know about anywhere else, but TX schools are temporarily closing due to double the cases of our highest count from last year. Sure, close for a couple days for the cleaning crews. Surprise, covid is walking right back inside when they reopen. Rinse and repeat.

That moment when you realize that the teachers union is the cause of your child failing in school.

I would tell them if they want to be in a union go join the Pipe fitters local
