Given your repeated references to sitting at home and going back to work it's pretty clear you weren't aware that teachers were already in schools with pupils (or if you were aware had chosen to ignore it). If teaching unions didn't view teachers as key workers and are so opposed to teachers going to school then how come they're currently in schools?dsr wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 12:28 pmMy theory is that teachers are hard workers who see their job is key and want to work; but the unions are opposed to that and want to stop teachers from working. I really don't see how teachers going to school to teach kids breaks that theory.
I think perhaps a lot of people have seen a post about teaching, have seen that there is criticism, and have decided that it must be unfair because teachers are wonderful. I have very carefully steered away from any criticism at all of teachers, except perhaps in their choice of union bosses. It's the unions that I am criticising.
Saying that, even if you were careful to avoid direct criticism of teachers there's still an implicit suggestion that they are happy to sit in their nice homes with gardens without worrying about the various disadavantaged, vulnerable children, etc who are missing out on schooling (admittedly it seems that you are also unaware that a fair number of those vulnerable children were going into school anyway being taught by the teachers that you weren't aware were there). Maybe that isn't what you intended to write but that's certainly how it came across.
