“...For some parents, it’s the latest disappointment in pandemic-era learning: more virtual learning, no teacher in the room....”

No teacher in the room but teachers “working” from home drawing full salaries and benefits as well as continuing to “earn” retirement longevity and pay raises. Ain’t life grand!

I teach college media/art classes. We were going to have to face this nonsense in a Bay-area college in November and December.
You try teaching with a face mask, face shield and gloves for 6 to 8 hours straight. You might call me a pussy, but I can’t wear that garbage for more than 2 to 3 minutes before the sweat starts flowing down the face, the face shield and glasses fog up, and the mask acne appears. This along with the severe pain I still get for the skin cancer treatment I had on my nose last year. Any mask rubs my nose raw to bleeding if worn for more than few minutes.
And that doesn’t even count the double lessons required, and the total lack of 2-way communications for those masked - as both the teacher and student.
For me, any one speaking out of a mask sounds like a Peanuts parent or Kenny from South Park.
Nope. Teaching with Zoom, discord and a good LMS is much more effective, especially as I have my own personal streaming studio to teach from.
And they are increasing the cost of school by doubling the number of people teaching/monitoring each class.
I suspect the taxes on homes will be raised to pay for this and once enough stink is made the teachers will come back with an increase in salary and the taxes will be lowered a smidgen
fire them and strip their pensions
Can’t have teachers in the room but monitors are disease resistant are there,that makes so much sense,why didnt anyone think of that before?
Bureaucrats,got to love them,with the BLM crap they are teaching kids they are better off home anyway
