Not Satisfied With Just Having Summers Off, Teachers Push For Fall, Winter, Spring
2020-07-21
Would be less more amusing if they weren't already trying for a partial over Covid 19
[Babylon Bee] U.S.—Studies have shown teachers are the laziest people on the planet, only working nine months and doing absolutely nothing for three months of the year. What's more, when they do work, teachers wander into school at 7 and go home at 2, having done nothing all day but press play on Bill Nye the Science Guy VHS tapes.

But having summers off isn't enough for the ungrateful public "servants": teachers are looking to leverage the pandemic into getting the other three seasons off too.

"I am just way overworked having to go in nine months out of the year," said Mrs. Mosley, a third-grade teacher from Seattle. "Can't we get the fall off? And when winter rolls around, I mean, it's cold. Who wants to go to work in the winter? This is the problem with capitalism: you have to work for food and money."

"And don't get me started on spring: it's so nice outside. Forcing teachers to work in spring is tyranny of the highest order. It's like, um... hang on, let me think of a literary reference."

She pulled out her phone and googled "fictional villains."

"It's like Voldemort in Harry Potter!" she said finally.

Teachers' unions are, of course, still demanding that the teachers be paid for their 12 months off.

#6  Looking at the current state of the Education world and the quality of the product coming out the system, I gotta ask:
Are we better off paying the unionized teachers *not* to teach our kids?

#5  And the state released its school opening requirements. Masks for all, except those with medical conditions.

Oh, and the post opened with the weasel words, "If school does open as planned..."

Governess Catlady tends to stay in the orbit of The Baroness of Michigan, so we'll see.

#4  Just give the parents with elementary to secondary school the vouchers and let them decide if they want to have them schooled or daycared. Cut out all the middle managers and unions. Caveat emptor.

#2  Critical Failure
*puts $5 in jar*

Here, they have pushed back the starting date by two weeks, in what my theory is called The Colorado Model, where the opening is pushed back and back two weeks at a time until its flu season, then why bother to open. Then second semester gets delayed because those joos and cross worshipers and their racist family gatherings push back second semester then why even open.
