    You can post your experience but the first comment is a generalisation.
    You had a had experience with your children's teachers but you should only comment on those teachers. I know loads of teachers that worked their asses off remotely so don't paint them all with one brush.

    And I know loads of teachers - especially primary school teachers - who sent one generic email a week or did nothing at all.

    Take your own advice and don't generalise either.

    That's the thing though. You can't take a chance that it is only a cold. Once someone has the symptoms, it has to be assumed that it is COVID-19 until it is proven otherwise.

    It'll be a nightmare because every one of us go around coughing and spluttering for several weeks each winter.

    And won't be just be the winter, the lack of contact people have had over the last 6 months has weakened their immune systems and exposure to common colds etc., from day one, kids and teachers will have colds.

    Not everyone, as you know since you troll education threads enough, did what your teacher did, in fact it seems the teachers on here worked their butts off. So take your abuse and email it to your school.

    The teachers on here just can’t take criticism. Deny, deflect, insult, ignore. Anyone criticising teachers is a troll or an “imbecile”. Anyone criticising is attacked.

    It’s depressing.

    Watch how I’ll get attacked now for daring to say that a lot of teachers i know did nothing since 12 March.

    Or maybe the increased sanitation etc will decrease the amount of germs spreading. We just won’t know until we are open.

    And arguably, along with health, the most important one in the new government. Surely Martin should have been putting one of his best people into the job, even taking it on himself if he didn't have anyone with the requisite competence and experience.
    It looks like a tradeoff. FG wanted Finance and Justice. FF look like they wanted Education and Donnelly clearly wanted Health. After that it was a divvying up exercise. The gender quota is also at work here and given that FF have fewer in comparison, newbies like Foley got put forward.

    These anecdotes aren't exactly a scientific approach to describing how successful/unsuccessful remote learning was for people, is the point i think.

    Hint : you got attacked because you came on here childishly bragging that YOU did nothing since March 12th.

    I think you need to reread your posts before you start this shiiite yet again.

    We’re you the one who personally insulted me a few days ago?

    “Imbecile” I think you called me? Then you edited your post. Was that you?

    You yourself did nothing since March and I have commented on other teachers doing nothing since March or for doing less than expected and have not been attacked for it.

    You cannot accept that just because you or a few teachers did nothing that others did what was expected and more. Methinks you have a guilt complex and all your bleating is justify your lack of engagement or care towards your students.

    You have a complex and have been screaming bullly on various threads since March and come across as very immature. You derail threads to make them about yourself and then criticise people for quoting you. I think in your mind you see yourself as a whistleblower and demonised for it but a few teachers have commented on other teachers approach and not been abused. Have you ever thought it is your approach that is objectionable?

    Ironic thing is she is a teacher who openly admitted to doing damn all for months.

    No.

    Much like the good Minister Norma Foley then. The Taoiseach is also a teacher, isn’t he?

    Tell us what you did since March for the children under your care?

    Tell us how you have upskilled over the summer months to fill the gaps in your skill set?

    Well I've openly disparaged our current minister for education for basically disappearing and providing ZERO leadership at this critical time. First time TD shouldn't have appointed. Seems very out of their depth.

    Is she though...is she really?? The writing seems defensively childlike/immature especially when responding to any challenge


    Id hazard a guess you are interacting with a teenager or if he/she is a teacher then a very young immature one.

    Previous precovid posts indicate that she is indeed a teacher, a teacher in an school environment in which they are very unhappy.

    You ask a lot of questions for someone who doesn't answer any.

    I'm hoping that the teachers who sent one email a week and were then unresponsive/uncontactable will do something different when the schools close again. That will not be accepted again this time round by parents.

    I hope you will too. I also hope you find happiness somewhere and get a different job as you are clearly unhappy.

    Touche.

    I just hope that if and when you are back online that you do your best for the students in your classes. All students deserve that.

    I agree that all teachers need to put their bear put forward. YOU my dear are part of the problem and openly gloated on here about it while trying to blame your colleagues. You are an adult, act like one and stop trying to deflect and blame others. Guilt does terrible things to people. Be a leader to your students and then you'll have ZERO guilt. The satisfaction of doing a good days work is immense.

    A great many of my colleagues are very happy ... they have effectively been on fully paid holidays since March.

    Some are saying that they will do the same again if schools close. They are under no obligation to do online/blended according to them.

    Continue attacking me if you wish ... that is what is now openly being said.
