Maybe. I think it's much more likely that, like so many, teachers have discovered they really like relaxing at home and collecting enhanced unemployment checks. They're in no big hurry to return.
“...teachers have discovered they really like relaxing at home and collecting enhanced unemployment checks. They’re in no big hurry to return.”
Ding ding ding!
Teachers aren’t collecting unemployment checks. They are collecting their full salaries, with negotiated “distance learning” contracts that involve very little live synchronous instruction, in many cases.
They can post one assignment a week and call it a day. They are getting full pay. Our students in the United States are being hurt by this (even if yes they are getting less indoctrination, which is a good thing, they are also getting less instruction, which is a bad thing).
