NO.... Right but its not the teachers fault as he claims, its the states rules and parents not allowing their kids to go to school Teacher's unions are mostly to blame or at least the largest or major contributor. Yes, some parents want their kids to stay home, especially the older kids who are getting vaccinated here now. But you don't need parents at home to care for kids over 12 years old... so it makes sense to let high school kids study from home since their parents are free to go to work. LAUSD’s slow, cautious reopening shows the influence of the teachers union, but it has critics latimes.com I think teachers like not having to work a full day while getting full pay to "work from home." “We got beat up pretty good by parents,” said district Director of Labor Relations Tony DiGrazia on July 23. “Biggest concern, teachers getting full pay and not putting in full day; I am tryin[g] to address; if it appears it is same way it is going to be a problem.” Try scaling their pay to hours worked and see how quickly they want to return .The union gave some ground, but well short of what the district team said it wanted. The union also prevailed on reducing the school day: The revised schedule ran from 9 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. rather than from about 8 a.m. to about 3 p.m. Union negotiators insisted that students and families needed the flexibility as well as teachers. “Some high school students are working to support their families, and won’t be able to make (class time),” said Van Winkle.
