Bellevue Teachers Union: “We aren’t going back to work”
"We have a vaccine on the horizon and we need to use every protection possible to keep our students, staff, and community safe," Snow said in the WEA statement. "It doesn’t make sense to return more students and staff to school buildings without taking every measure we can, which includes offering vaccines to educators."

More entertainment from the "we are all going to die" to "come on out it's safe now" show.

Sets up a showdown between the BSD superintendent and the teachers Union.
He basically said in an open letter that was emailed out to parents last week that union reps were reneging on an agreed upon rollout to in person learning and that the union was placing politics over students well-being.
Still no recorded cases of child-to-school staff transmission for those of you keeping score at home.
So, either the rank and file for the union prefers working from home in their PJs, or the union is after more than just access to vaccines.
Because last I checked, meat packers, Uber eats drivers, Amazon delivery people, and grocery baggers are still out at work, servicing these teachers who are at home, ranting about Donald Trump on zoom calls with their 2nd grade students instead of teaching math and writing.
I fucking cannot stand teachers unions and 50% of all primary public educators are trash anyway. Maybe 40% in Bellevue, since it’s apparently one of the best districts on the west coast.
But, remember...as the LA County School Union Chief taught us, this is all about them keeeds, right? -
Well, put the teachers union leaders in with that fucking faggot Jay Inslee as child killers, too.

I'm not sure that LA schools even exist anymore. When home learning was rolled out about 50% of the kids didn't bother. And that was last winter

Inslee is hot garbage, but he’s asking for a return to in-person learning, knowing that parents have had enough and there’s a political cost.PurpleThrobber said:Well, put the teachers union leaders in with that fucking faggot Jay Inslee as child killers, too.
Teachers Union wants something more than just vaccines and they’re sending a message that they can exact that political cost if they do choose.
But, but, but....science, guys. -
I think BTA should use up all of their political capital today.

I haven't tracked it super close lately, but last I saw Jay was being sorta canny and letting Reykdal be the bad guy calling for mass death by way of opening schools.thechatch said:

It just goes to show you that this locked down forced the people who aren't miserable and like to actually live their life were forced to join the miserable hermits who never had any intention of going outside to begin with. Now that things are starting to try and open up again, these faux "I can't wait until the lockdown is over" hacks are getting anxiety that people are going to start enjoying life and having fun again while they continue to stay at home and rot away with their overrated Netflix shows, cheap wine, and overpriced Uber Eats junk food.

Because we all had teachers who no to half assed it, those that were good, those that made learning worse, and that many of the things we were taught provided little value than the ability to sit quietly for 50 minutes at a time.UWerentThereMan said: -
Teachers Union knows that when the Doors Open, the student counts won’t be anywhere near pre-Covid and that means Staffing Cuts.
That means for every student who found an alternative to full time in person return to school the district loses $11,500 -

Washington's public schools serve over 1.1 million students, and the state is responsible for funding the public education of each of those students. Although there are variances across school districts and grade levels, the state spent an average of $11,500 per student in basic education funding in 2019.

I can't validate the $11,500 but my wife does work in an admissions office for a local school here and they take every possible measure to prevent withdrawals as it financially makes a huge difference to them. When WA State offered an "online option" which was centralized and not tied to the school, they lost students and called each and every one of them to try to sway them back due to finances.

Centralized teaching....like a call center? -
Centralized within the school district. I would not be surprised to see it tied to a statewide program. Think of it as a virtual High School, Middle School, or Gradeschool within a district with large class sizes, very few teachers and a lot of asynchronous self-guuided curriculum. Individual schools suffer financially when students pick the online option. I am sure both the schools and the teacher's unions hate it as it threatens them.HuskyJW said:

No. The Washington State official online school. It’s not tied to any district and the money follows the studentHuskyJW said:

Most hilarious to me was the fawning adoration so many lefty teachers had for Obama, while his basketball buddy Arne Duncan and partner-in-gentrifying Chicago, Rahm Emanuel closed public schools, laid off union teachers, and diverted huge sums of money to private, non-unionized Charter schools. That was the biggest Fuck You from Democrats to a Union in decades.
And it made no difference. Cause all teachers want BBC. -
Imagine people sitting at home doing diddly while getting full pay don't want to go back to work. Turn off the paychecks and they'll be fighting to get back in.
