You still banging this drum. Seriously that was 3months ago. Get over it. Schools not reopening at that time wasn't the fault or schools or the people who work in them. Let it go.

We have to deal with the here and now.

I don't agree.
We should learn from our mistakes, and use that going forward. It was a mistake not to open schools part-time when covid cases were low. Those few weeks would have been very valuable in keeping students aware of their education. Five months out of school is aserious dent in their educational path.

Five months out of the end of an old person's life is a serious dent in their existence path.

So what can we do different now that we haven't already done? No pleasing people who have your mindset.

Ya see this is how to spot trolls, they always concentrate on holidays pay or incorrectly post that school were closed since March, which just expose their posts as imbecilic.

Hello idiot schools were closed since March and teachers have come across in great light out of all professions from the pandemic. If I need to spell out why you are a total idiot

Post reported for insulting me

By the way the buildings closed but the teachers continued working. If you did not get the service you felt you required take it up with principal, as the school is now open. THere is a distinct difference between closed buildings and schools being off, if this needs further explanation I can explain how holidays work

School buildings were closed, school still went on in some form for most students.

Ah now what’s with the insults, I thought we got this thread back on point over the past few days.

As a parent I know my kids teacher was working all the way up until the holidays so you obviously don’t have a dog in this fight.

If you are not willing to partake in this topic with some sort of a centrist view then there is no point because we’ll all just end up screaming at each other.

Well schools were not closed since March. The building were.

From March to June for secondary and until July for primary, the teachers were working and students were attending online.

They were however closed for june July and part of August secondary
July part of August Primary
Despte the holiday many teachers worked through them ensuring schools were ready for reopening at the end of August, despite poor guidelines.

Is that simpler to comprehend?

Are you going back again to the assertion that all teachers continued working March-June?

This is simply not true. Yet teachers like you continue to spout this lie. Makes all teachers look bad.

Kids (primary) in my extended family were well served with some Zoom classes and arrangements made for the work books kept at school to come home and be worked on and assignments set and sent in by email to teachers and WhatsApp recordings made of reading in English and Irish and sent to teacher. Teachers definitely working and some of them doing it with small kids on lockdown at home. This went on from lockdown in March until the day the schools were due to start holidays. This may not be every family's experience but it was for many.

It’s been stared in this thread that *many* parents in primary school had virtually no contact or support from teachers.

Just because teachers here are saying they all continued working does not make that statement true. I know many - yes, including me - who didn’t.

One person I will not take comments from is you.

I worked 15 hour days minimum and you downed tools in March by your own admission and refused to do anything and let down your students and the profession and then looked for every excuse to badmouth teachers trying to cover up your own dispicable behaviour.

If anyone disagrees with you, you scream bully. You need to take a mature approach to your work before commenting on others.

Well we all know one who freely admitted to not doing much anyway.

And you need to stop saying all teachers were working when you know that’s not true.

People need to take a look at your posts - particularly some of the posts in late August before we went back - to see what you really think of the kids you teach and their parents.

I won’t be taking any comment from anyone with that attitude.

Like most other countries.

I know that might dissapoint you.

The real test of what impact Covid has on education is essentially how many students have missed school for how many days.

Having a case here or there in a school isn’t really a good measure.

If there are 1 million kids at school, that’s about 160,000,000 student schooldays across the year.

How many have been held so far - 10,000,000 or so? How many students have missed a days schooling - 100, 500?

If it’s 500, the scale of the problem so far is 0.005%.

Asteroids falling from space spring to mind in terms of risk.

ANd you need to

1) stop derailing threads and making them about you
2) realise that other people apart from you callled out teachers and had no problems about doing it
3) realise most teachers worked and just because a minority didnt doesnt mean you get to justify your admitted unprofessional behaviour. If I was those kids in school now, dealing with you I would have no respect for you.
