If you think their job became infinitely more difficult because of NTI, then you are admitting that their job has been a walk in the park until now.
I have a ton of respect for teachers. I also think most of what teacher’s unions try to accomplish is not in the best interest of education as a whole or the kids.
And, no matter how anyone wants to slice and dice it, this NTI and kids not being in school is total and absolute ******** covered nonsense.

No more than anyone else. Which is the reason everyone is frustrated.
Know of a NJ teacher that was doing NTI from a bar in Florida last week. Sounds tough.
I’m sure most teachers want to be in the classroom with students. I’ve watched my wife’s classes and my daughters.
They are torturous. No real rapport, she doesn’t really know her students, it is awful. I think students should be in the classroom.
Vern, what is your email address?

Uh, much moreso than my own job. I have the occasional zoom meeting but most of my time is spent alone in my office. Your job require you to keep 22 10 year olds on task live via Google hangout for 5 straight hours? While making sure your kids are on task and understanding? Its ok to say teachers jobs have gotten harder this year. It’s not really a political thing.
This was posted in the COVID thread but I find it absolutely frightening and a possible precursor to the effects we are going to see from continued NTI:
If it's so hard why won't they speak out about going back the the vigor that they protested Bevin?
Most people's job has gotten more difficult this year. They're also now juggling how to get childcare or help teach their kids. Know what? They don't ***** about it and go to work in the scary outdoors every day they can.
Only reason it's political is because one party refuses to put our kids back in school. Now they've literally made it illegal. Wrong week to look for education related sympathy around here, pal.
I do love strokin though. No offense, buddy.
Not looking for teacher sympathy so much as wanting you to acknowledge teachers jobs have gotten harder in all this, not easier. Which you did. So we agree. Thanks.
Also, if it isn’t obvious, my wife is a teacher and I routinely told her for the past 10 years what a walk in the park gravy *** job she has. But this year it’s different. F all that noise.
They could have a sick out and refuse to do their job until they get what they want. There’s precedence.
She must either:
A) have tenure in a **** school district
B) suck
C) both
My wife is teaching 5th grade math and science in NJ and she’s working from 8am to 10pm daily.... ignoring her own kid whilst DEALING with woke, rich, liberal worrisome Karens.
It’s effing ridiculous.
This is spot-on. For a teacher who actually cares about EVERY student and refuses to take shortcuts, their workload has almost doubled. Dawn goes to school at 7:30. She gets home at 4 or 5. She takes about an hour and a half to watch a late night show on DVR and catch her breath. Then she works until 10 and goes to sleep.
It's going to be a profession that gets harder and harder to attract quality employees in the future because people just won't be willing to do it.
- There are MANY teachers off the Andy train. I work in a moderate to liberal school district and I’d say the staff is split 50/50 for those who support his handling of this . The last school district I was at (and am still good friends with many there), I’d say it’s more like 75/25 that think he’s garbage and can’t wait to see him go.
I’d say your more rural/county districts are 65/35 against him as well but there is some fear in those places and they may believe he is actually saving their lives through these mandates. But still. . . he’s steadily losing momentum among teachers. I firmly believe that.
I voted for the ******* because I thought Bevin would be the absolute worst thing possible for public education in this state. Sometimes I get it right and sometimes I don’t.

Teachers in Kentucky average about $53k per year for 180 work days per year. They also have a taxpayer supported defined benefit pension plan that is screwing our state.
Meanwhile, the rest of Kentucky averages $56k per year for 250 days of work and a small employer match on their 401k.
Teachers as a group complain way more than any other profession. This year has been harder for everyone and our dumbass governor is making it all worse. Teachers got that buffoon in office, so I have no sympathy for their gripes about it now.

Yup. Teachers really should’ve seen the coronavirus and Andy Beshears response coming. Bevin warned us all and they didn’t listen!
If you are a teacher with concerns about your health, or a teacher who lives with someone whose health is compromised, get out of teaching for a while and/or find another job/profession until this is over. My own youngest daughter, who was a straight-A student before this, and who we expected to get into Craft or Gatton is really struggling with NTI. The teachers in the district where my daughter attends had a Friday sick-out about a month ago that forced the school to return to NTI.
If you are a teacher campaigning for your school district to shut down, you simply do not have the best interests of your students. You weren't complaining on behalf of the grocery store employees, or health care workers, or transportation/delivery people who have been putting themselves in harm's way all this time. It's selfishness, pure and simple.

Or maybe they should have realized his dad was the one that destroyed their pension, and that Andy is just a less intelligent version.
But Bevin was a meanie!
If you toss a “no offense” in at the end, you can dogcuss and alienate anyone you want in here with nary a word said. This is what Twitter and corporate America calls a Pro Tip.
Sounds like Gran (and probably more on the offensive coaching staff) are gone after the game. The stats of this dogshit year say you have to do that. It is a no-brainer. I have just a hair of regret about it, though. Gran can be absolutely maddening but he can also pull things out of his *** like redesigning the offense on the fly for Stephen Johnson and Lynn Bowden to great effect. That is a pretty rare talent and speaks to him knowing his craft.
I think our problems on offense are much more at QB and WR than in the coaching box but you can't fire players in the NCAA and the SEC is big boy rules, so sorry Eddie I guess.
Per Matty Bangs, we should know the new OC on Monday or so, which (Andy willing) means the new guy can install his system for the bowl. That should be at least something good about this, I guess.

It’s always a political thing to the majority here, and that’s pathetic, imo. No offense.
Explain how we're suppose to interpret schools being closed any different than political?
You basically have to at this point or our offensive recruiting is going to be even worse.
I’ll explain NOTHING, MFer. I’ll sit back and take throw in potshots and jeers with no recourse. So get that through your head.
What are you talking about? ANDY is clearly going to toe the DNC party line until the bitter end and keep schools closed for purely political reasons when almost every single reputable scientific source says that schools (especially elementary schools) aren't significant COVID worries and that the damage prolonged NTI does to kids is immeasurable at this point.
Seriously, are you going Pinko PTI and arguing some nonsensical point just because you're a whiny *****? ANDY's decision to keep schools closed in spite of literally every (other than the teacher's unions political pull) reason to open them up is OBVIOUSLY POLITICAL.

I don't think it's political for most people involved with education, just a problem that has no good solution. I know Dawn wants to be back at school. Badly. NTI is a pain in the *** for all parties involved. But we've also known people who have gotten sick or died, so we're not really sure what the right answer is.
That's what I thought. You're the same as a trumper. Ts.
The last governor's election was won in the democratic primary. Bevin was too big of a dickhead to win the general again. Rocky Adkins would have made a great governor, but since Andy spent his whole time as AG suing Bevin on teachers union behalf, the unions got him elected.
The greatest irony is that the pensions only got adequate funding this year because of the surplus that Bevin had from his last year. Andy actually proposed a budget to not fund them, which the legislature overruled.

Shutting down schools despite studies and a majority of the scientific community saying kids need to be in person -- definitely isn't the solution.
We were told to trust the science -- now Andy refuses to acknowledge any of it in justification of his school closures.
Why, if not political?
The pick and choose game is ********. Don't throw up your hands *now* and say "well it all sucks there's no good choices"
What do you mean? The info is out there. WHO, CDC, Pediatricians all say schools should be open. Every developed country in the world has schools open regardless of their "cases omgz". We've had schools all across the south and private schools across the country open for 6 months. There's only 1 reason why teachers don't feel safe and they're closed.
From the most liberal rag and most liberal guy.
Trump picked schools and rather than admit he was right about anything liberal leaders dug in and used our kids as pawns to defeat Trump. I'm sorry you all can't see that.
