- Members of the Oakley Union Elementary School District Board of Trustees in California thought they were speaking privately during an online video meeting Wednesday but later found out the public could hear and see them making disparaging comments about parents. The candid discussion sparked outrage among parents, who started a petition calling for board members to step down. By Friday night, every member of the school board resigned. NBC’s Kathy Park reports for Weekend TODAY.

Entire School Board Resigns After Members Caught Disparaging Parents | TODAY
Just imagine what the politicians sound like.
Board members are politicians in training/wanna bes
Mannn that would be epic!!!
Dude the Republican Party basically exists to feed big companies and dismantle the government. Their entire career revolves around duping dumb, poor, religious, and bigoted people into voting against everyone's self-interests.
@@monsieurdorgat6864 your blind stupidity is astounding.
@@monsieurdorgat6864 yes democrats really care
This is what politicians think of the people they serve
so true huh
A great example is the mayor of Colorado City, TX and Ted Cruz going to Cancun.
@@612osiris Doesn't the State Governor take care of that type of problem happening in the state?
Yep. Here in Texas our politicians take us for granted since we always vote red no matter how bad the candidate is. Texas is run on 80% oil and natural gas. That 80% failed in basic winter weather. Frozen gas pipelines, frozen equipment. The reason? Texas Republicans deregulated their power grid (ERCOT) and disconnected it from the national power grids (eastern and western interconnect). The GOP failed to upgrade their grid for severe weather. This failure happened twice before in 1986 and 2011. BOTH times the GOP FAILED to FIX IT.
@@CommanderTexas It would be worse with Democrats. They are ruining my state. There is no one party for the people. Politicians take care of politicians.

Honestly, the world would be better if people just openly talked like this instead of hiding behind a fake act.
It really would. Complex politics would die out, people who can't get along would openly go against each other until their satisfied, and people who aren't for or against each other would understand each other and take hands in all their problems
They can and they did. Nobody is forcing them to put up a fake act; they choose to do it out of their own volition. That doesn't mean there are no consequences. The one that choose being fake are them because they know there are consequences and don't have the courage to said things in front of people and face those consequences.
Ever see the movie " The invention of lying" goid movie
Thank you for having the guts to say that! All this fake niceness is _killing_ us. Every place I ever worked, we would crack jokes about the boss, difficult clients, and other annoyances. It cuts the tension. It is _healthy_ Someone got into trouble once or twice but no one was sent to purgatory.
So when your spouse says does this dress make me look fat, all of you say, “yes”? Remember, the truth is the best cleanser!
EVERY school board... this one simply got caught.

Not every school board. Where do you teach?
then home school your brats.
No more In Person learning.

I love how the entire Today cast thought the biggest concern was that the school board got caught rather than how unconscionable they acted when they thought no one was listening in.
@CYCOlogist spoken by the true practitioners of fake outrage no doubt.
What is wrong with these news reporters? The problem was being exposed and not the fact of what they were saying? I think these reporters comments should be considered one of those caught on television as well. At least the school board had the decency to resign. What about these reporters who were only concerned about being exposed and not the content of what was exposed?
Unconscionable? What are you? A nun?
Yeah, sounds like they always talk like that behind people's backs or worse...remember CNN 's "Loobin' Tubin"?
I only hope that they reap what they sow.
I mean this is how teachers talk in general.
Both parents were teacher..confirmed they came home to talk about this
Exactly. My parents were teachers and spoke the same way.
And that makes it right?

agree...
She cries when she is caught. . .then goes emotional, "for the Kids "
😒😒😒😒 ha,!
🤣🤣🤣
The worst nightmare for so many people is being held accountable for their true thoughts and words? What a world we live in today
Its okay to be truthful about their thoughts but is not okay to air it for a parent like myself to hear bcoz it makes the school & Teacher I trust an unsafe place for my kids. I am a Teacher myself and I do think some not most parent take advantage of school system. But as a Teacher with a degree & credential I took an oath to educate the kids regardless of thrir parent background.
NSA/CIA spy on regular people, wish they did their job and spied on politicians and just aired out all dirty laundry to citizens.
@@toupasene Take advantage of the school system? Lol
You’re stupid seriously stupid

@@JesusBltMyHtRd Buzz off, Trumpanzee.
“are we alone?” if you ask that and/or are actually concerned that you might say or do something you don’t want others to know about, you might want to actually check if you are alone or not.
Or know that the thing you are about to say/do is highly inappropriate and not do it.
@@ThesmartestTem truth.
Hurricane- maybe- just maybe- if you are that worried that someone may overhear you- maybe- you shouldn't say it?
@@peggyhall843 that would be the smart thing.
I did not see anything wrong with the zoom call. The problem is some of the parents DO use school as a form of daycare. Some parents have the thought process of from 7:30am to 5:30pm my kid is your problem not mine. I know there are students who go to school to be in a safe environment and some are at school for the breakfast and lunch meals. The district also needs to take in consideration how the teachers feel about going back to in person learning. The parents will ALWAYS want their kid out of the house and at school.
Don't we all talk like this with friends, family, co-workers? Was it really that bad? 🤔
My friends and I are all a THOUSAND times worse. And so are a good size chunk of the parents. Some of those parents just dont tolerate being on the receiving end of what they dish out every day, and want the free babysitters they think they are entitled to, to manage the little monsters they created with their own abuse and cannot control. Speaking of ablut 20% of the parents, of course, rather than all of them, as any parent of a bullied child knows. Speaking of which, guess what the kids abused at school see less of, without inperson learning? Toxic individuals!!!!
Why are Americans surprised? Why are these parents surprised? They're the exact same people.
Ikr
We aren't surprised, but the news wants you to believe we are when crap goes on like this... We know what they say, or kids come home and tell us when they hear teachers talk deal about us. My wife has had many meetings with administrators where they are bending over backwards to keep her from reporting.
Exactly this is normal private conversations I would expect teachers to talk about the parents. It’s also weird how the board members. Literally resigned on there own and think they did something horribly wrong. You could hear the woman crying in the end
They are not surprised, so your question does not make sense.
Not surprising if you pay attention to facts
So, school board members talk like real people sometimes. I don’t get all the outrage.
Right? I’m still trying to understand what the big deal is...I’ll watch it again I guess 🤷🏾♂️
@@CriticAtBest so am I
Because people are a bunch of sissies. A lot of parents did want kids back in school so they don’t have to watch their kids during the day and they didn’t like being called out like that. Everyone wants fakeness; fake Instagram photos, fake apologies, fake nice speeches....it’s wild. These teachers just voiced their opinions, clearly they didn’t feel safe having kids back and they thought it was a private convo. Those fruitcakes who said they were “appalled” at what was said must be SAINTS then who never said anything in private convos that they would be embarrassed if the entire world heard. They must have never complained about anythingggg or anyone 🤭🙄
I’m with you, I don’t really get the outrage either. Nothing they said seemed personally offensive to any parent just general observations that were probably accurate. Maybe I missed something 🤷🏽♀️
@@bickhuynh that's what I'm saying
Especially nowadays it's hard to find someone actually chill and well mannered
Lmao kids probly be screaming at their moms
Lol she was just crying and apologizing because they got caught
She was afraid of her comeuppance ahead.
Nah... she was just worried about the precious kids.
yeah they want the best for the kids so badly the topic about what they talked with a hot mic was: they want to restrict every question from a parent to a 3 minutes audirecording that cuts you off midsentence after exactly 3 minutes.... this is how much they cared about the wellbeing of these kids... couldn even be bothered enough to listen to a longer point/question
@@johnbowman1076 lol
She apologizes that her private conversation went public but she really doesn't apologize for what was said... nor should she 🤷🏻♂️
And the reporters make excuses for this behavior. Unbelievable
,,, my Lawyer said this to me years ago: Don't say anything you wouldn't want to repeat out loud in a court of law. ,,,
Also goes for things in writing!
Exactly. Don't even say that kind of stuff to your best friend IMO. People constantly see how that backfires but they still do it. :/
Great advice
@Brandon Lucia Life Hack: You can't confide in friends if you don't have any 😉.
That’s very good advice I’m gonna remember that
Please show me the faces of all these perfect parents who never talked bad about anyone or anything behind closed doors when thought no one could hear..
These people didn't deserve to fired at all!
Lord, this world is so stupid to think that basic human conversations are automatically 'Evil' because their not 'Public'
These poor people lost their jobs over NOTHING
Found a teacher!
Yeah, I don’t think they said anything that bad? So much for young people having thin skin these grown adults are having a fit over nothing in particular you would expect a bit more maturity from parents. I hate people a little more every day.
Stupid ppl Recorded this‼🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@DrewsGreenReviews You need a teacher to correct your grammar and run-ons lmao. I almost had a stroke trying to read your comment.
I don't feel like what they said was so bad. They're just making job complaints like we all do.
Agreed.
True.. what they said was mean, but I don't think they should've resigned... but whats done is done
We all say things we shouldnt... they just got caught lol

Almost like children. Even crying at the end.
@A. Kryptonite God forbid parents are worried about their children's education. Especially after the CDC said it was safe to open schools. Follow the science right?
@@themorosepittbull257 teachers already don’t get paid enough and I doubt they’re going to get hazard pay for going back early

@@laurafrakinroslin They don't get paid enough but here. From the CDC
Data from K-12 schools that reopened for in-person instruction in the fall show little evidence that schools contributed meaningfully to the spread of COVID-19, according to a new article published Tuesday in JAMA, the journal of the American Medical Association
They told the truth of some parents. To be honest the things they said weren’t that bad.
Find the full clip one of them threatens parents this is a PG version.
Yeah not that bad they obviously don't care if they teach the kids or not since they are just babysitters. after all, they just got paid for a year while not bothering to work. I guess that means what they said wasn't that bad. or was that just the teacher that was doing the Facebook of her Bahama vacation instead of teaching.
@@wes613 schools ARE just free babysitters. The whole system is really messed up. It shouldn't take 6-7 hours to teach all the nothing they teach in schools. Look at Finland, they have the best education system in the world, and the elementary school kids only go 2 hours a day, and get no homework. We need less school time and more subsidies for just basic child care really so kids can play and be free to be kids
@@stitches318 it isnt free? Public school is paid for by taxes, including teachers.
@@stitches318 I agree I Think school especially elementary school shouldn’t be that long
Im 100% certain that 100% of my teachers have said worst things about me when I was a student
N u have too😂
I mean I have😂
Can confirm, I remember one of my teachers threatening to smack my glasses out of my face in front of the class when I was a high school freshman.
yup, in kindergarten they had a sub that threatened to give me a cyanide pill. she got fired after about a year tho
Thats great...this was about parents not students
These teachers weren’t that bad. In college, my teachers would lie about guy students behind their backs to girl students in order to start nonsense.
"When keeping it real... Goes wrong".
They're allowed to Express themselves, the only difference is they got caught
Yep, all across the USA school board conversations are the same during this frustrating pandemic.
So Maria u think racist are allowed to express themselves also, the difference is huge more than it's ok if u don't get caught attitude, it's about respect..
You basically implied it's only wrong if you get caught, so Harvey Weinstein should be allowed to express himself? Wasn't wrong until we knew? Is that how you think ?
@@loyal2themfgame17 Ok...I don't even know where the race card is coming from or why it is a part of this common convo among educators. But truth be told, people are going to say what they feel or want to say racial topic or not. No one can stop that. But the consequences of the context really is on them if they are busted for it.
@@sammyytube5999 wait read it again, the race card wasn't used by me, just because u have the right to express yourself doesn't mean it's right, that's my point Sammy, just like race or anything else.
That's not a cry because you're sorry, that's a cry of fear of what's to come.
yep!
What is to come? Another teacher shortage? There are 2 sides to the story always.

They probably have to put in a mandatory 80 hours of training on fake crying lessons before getting these positions.
Ah the joy of social media in the hands of inept users. Reminds me of the office where Michael sent everyone nude pictures of Jan.
Everyone is “sorry”. When they get caught
yessir

yep. & not until then
they go to apologize about the struggle and I’m just like it’s to late nobody cares about ur apology

But On the other hand, social media is confusing people how public and private life’s are different.
What something a person do in his private life, as long as it’s not illegal, shouldn’t be used against the person’s public image.
(Btw, I hate pedo too)
But I guess it’s just the day and age of political polarization we live in.

I'd like to listen to this in full. I just don't think this was enough for an entire board to resign bc of.
I disagree
I agree
Bye. Don't come back.
That rest was talking about actual school stuff but that’s literally the worst of what they said. This is definitely over the top
If these snippets were the worst things they said I don't think the public reaction is justified.
"Parents wanting their babysitters back". That's not a lie (for a lot of parents).
Considering the teachers that were speaking it's probably all they're good for anyways
@@calicoloki That’s not true Andy. There are definitely parents that don’t care how well their children do in school… Just as long as they are in school. There are definitely parents that consider teachers free babysitters for them. Even the very best teachers I thought of as free babysitters buy some parents
@@concernedcitizen684 sounds like something teachers know before they go into teaching
@@concernedcitizen684 so are parents wrong for sending their kids to school 😂😂 y’all making it seem like kids are supposed to be at home doing school hours or something! Sorry but don’t sign up to teach kids if you’re going to complain about actually sitting in class with kids smfh
@@goddes2000 yea but on the flip side don't have kids expecting other people to raise them bc If we keep it real some of these parents don't actually want their kids full time and want the schools to take care of them and this covid has messed up the swagger so they act like they really want their kids back in class bit it's actually bc they are sick of having to be around them so much. I dint get why everyone acts like all parents actually care about the well being of their children. Alot are just pretend bc they feel guilty otherwise

How about a government by the people for the people. Now we have a government by the politicians for the politicians. The school board attitude is exactly the same in so many elected offices.
Remember Senator Bill Frisk from TN. He did his 2 terms and was highly effective (Senate Majority Leader) and then went back to his private life. What a template for the way things were done when the Constitution was written. Now we have far too many professional politicians who work for the party and not the people. The political machine keeps them in office. Perhaps you like it that way.
Funny how so many of them enter "public service" as middle class and exit as extremely wealthy millionaires . Case in point - Joe Biden was a life long Senator and had 3 very expensive homes before he left the Senate.

@@kizarumelon2477 Honestly just flip a coin and pick one from the tens of thousands of school districts in America and throw a camera in before board discussions, you'll hear staff complaining about their jobs and about parents. It's so normal. Everyone complains about their job.

Most likely you have some greater friends,if you would go and investigated ,know the teachers .teachers don't start out this way. They need to know your not the enemy. You need to back them up so they will know where you stand,in being a partner in your child's education
@@syundown6005 yeah my mom works at a warehouse and she complains about her job quite a lot (small things not major enough for her to want to quit)
That one teacher disclosed medical information, it does not matter if it is Medical Marijuana or cancer drugs. He had no right telling the other teachers that his brother delivers medical marijuana to some parents. He and his brother violated HIPPA laws.

@Nick Romo it is backpedaling, the parents are asking very respectfully to open the schools because the kids aren't learning anything and are falling behind and the school board is saying "I'll F*&#* you up!" but when they get caught they are crying " we want whats best for the kids".
If the government forces us to send our children to school in the first place you can't rag on the parents for " wanting babysitters."
No surprise at all. School boards and Home Owners Associations were invented by Karens so they can dominate their neighbors.
PTA's can and do work, but it all depends upon the parties involved.
Teacher used to be a predominately male profession and boards were created under their watch. HOAs, at least in America, have a more racist legacy. White people somehow seem to make it to be officers on HOA boards even in predominately non-whtie neighborhoods. The Karens just happen to get the legacy leftovers.

@DM00 -- your comment is exactly the type of comment that the school board representatives made, except instead of parents, it's the board that is the target.

Amen!

That's because the Media is trying to help them to cover their tracks.
Most reporters are garbage human beings. They can only sympathize with people who get caught like this.
Now she’s crying when a minute before she was laughing at the parents! Nah, she’s crying because she got busted!
She’s crying because of all the useless outrage at a private conversation that most people working in education talk like off the clock anyway but she happened to be one of the ones who got it broadcasted for the world.. I’d say the crying is justified.

Yeah you’re unemployed or a dumb teenager. The only thing parents want is for their schedule to go back to normal so they can go back to work.

@@cookie8080 it's a tough issue. It's hard to make an honest living nowadays. Kids going to public school not only educates and socializes them, it gives parents an opportunity to make a living. The issue is alot of parents drop their kids off expecting 100% from a public school but giving their kids 75%. They give free breakfast and lunches most schools and kids are active the whole day. Yet parents still gripe and complain. Teachers getting tired of it and are underpaid. I'm a school custodian. I hear it all.
@@IamtheLunchlady I don’t care that they talked crap we all do. I know there are parents that are unreasonable and look for an excuse to complain.

Teachers need to start to use their voices !
My last ten years before retiring were spent as an elementary school custodian so I had a view of the aftermath of each school day. Teachers in tears was not an infrequent sight!
Parents need to take responsibility for their own kids and stop putting teachers in an impossible role of being better than society at large!
Parents really do seem to see them as their punching bag. It seems that as long as a teacher is receiving payment, they are expected to continue to babysit the kids not even interested in learning, as well as try who are there to learn. It also sucks these teachers don't have enough support from administration.
If you don’t wanna do your job don’t get paid duh
Elementy give me a break 🤣 I heard I high school students are way worse lol 🤣
@@tmctechnology6396 Their job is to teach from the curricular not to parent. If you don't want to parent don't have kids.
@@RagingRaven88You know who has it worse? Special education dealing with conditions kids can't help day in and day out. I'd like to see a regular school teacher handle an autistic meltdown without calling the cops!! I interned with Autistic kids some non-verbal and it would break my heart. With special needs kids you can give them a direction one time and expected to be done you have to be patient and repeat it till it clicks with them.
That's the struggle with today. As someone who works at a school, I am always conflicted.
I have parents who Don't work who drop off their kids at 7am when we open, and pick up their kids right before 6pm when we close. Some parents just don't want to spend too much time at home with their kids because they don't know how to teach or handle their own kids. and if you don't think children will lick their hands and chase each other yelling "coronavirus!" then you have not worked with children. We opened our schools in august last year and let me tell you we had a large number of parents with those very energetic children who just couldn't take it anymore and were like "here just take my child!" . Even after 6 months of reopened i am STILL reminding kids TODAY to wash their hands and keep their distance because they still want to hangout with their friends!!! a large class is hard to manage and some parents are not aware of the struggle educators have to face everyday. while the parents go out and enjoy themselves, I know cause kids are very uncensored and they tell us almost everything that goes on at home!. Yes the educators here shouldn't have done that but also parents shouldn't assume the entire school district is like that. I have a coworker who was not too fond with reopening fast because of the pandemic and the risk with that is the Parents could get the virus and give to the kids, now here comes this infected kid and infecting the other classmates. We had at least 6 different cases in my school because some parents ended up infecting their children, and then dropping off their kids at school, thus infecting our other children and our teachers, Its seriously a hard issue going on right now, but I am sure some parents talk smack about schools behind closed doors as well, they just haven't been caught, I am sure these parents here are no pure angels themselves. its just a crazy world out here and as someone who works at a school and has two younger sisters that I teach at home I can definitely see both sides of the story. its just turning teachers against parents and vice versa. Bottom line. WE ARE ALL HUMANS LIVING IN A CRAZY WORLD RIGHT NOW. (I am turning off notifications to this post. Good day!)
You are paid by the taxpayers= PARENTS = You need to do your job & be of service to these children. How do YOU know they don't work & how did that info come to you? Has it ever crossed your mind that some of those parents might run their own businesses? Maybe they work service, nurse or political jobs& or non-typical hours? Maybe they work 2 jobs or more? maybe they spend all of THEIR day taking care of their elderly parents or disabled children at home. Maybe they do alot of physical therapy ...whatever they do.. it's really done of YOUR business & if that is the main focus of your job - you don't deserve it. PLEASE stay away from children if you RESENT them & their parents
Then... If you can't handle it... Why do you suffer by working there??? ;-; Also you right, we all humans. Some mess up a little bit, some more than others, and so on.
And on that note, that's a reason why I don't wanna have kids of my own, or at all...
@@elf8149 This, and the fact that children can behave differently at school, product of their environment. Because they almost always listen to their buddies rather than their parents. It happened to me. My son said a "bad" word at preschool a few months after the lockdown was lifted. I told the teacher that we don't interact with many people now, and he definitely learn it from the other children. She asked him the next day and he burst into tears, named two boys that taught him, he didnt even know what that word meant. Long story short, I told her that a dirty word shouldn't be such a big deal. Should've just explained to him that it is not ok.
@@divelea & of course that happens.. I would say that child needs more self esteem reinforcement to ask a parent or another adult... never a teacher at leasr for now. Children must learn from each other.. some is not the best.. they have to be taught discernment. None of this is OK in the schools lately.. OR they are purposely trying to get parents to take their children & exit the public school system. It IS the largest part of every state & region budget... right along with.. you probably guessed... POLICE.
@@elf8149 I work in education and we are all busting our butts off. And this mindset is extremely frustrating. You don’t know the individual lives of educators and what we deal with as well. We also all have personal lives and circumstances that may make things difficult. Most teachers love doing what they do, it’s definitely not for the pay. But we are entitled to think of our own safety as well. As someone with an autoimmune condition I absolutely want to make sure I stay safe. Just because educators are concerned about that doesn’t mean we aren’t “doing our job.” And it can be frustrating dealing with people saying things like that or assuming that being online is a vacation for us. It absolutely isn’t and everything this past school year has been twice as hard. But we need to be healthy in order to serve the students we love and care about.
Best thing about the whole incident was when the entire school board resigned.

I don't see what the big surprise is and why people would be so outraged as if this is some great eye-opener. Literally everyone you deal with in your life will talk about you this way. Teachers, cashiers, clerks, politicians, doctors, lawyers, bankers, police, your friends, your family. If you think any of them aren't saying stuff like this, just the same way you're saying it about them, you have turned your brain off.
Everyone bad-mouths everyone when they think they're not being watched or listened to. It doesn't necessarily indicate malice or hatred though.
OMIGOD! I can't believe it. Someone who actually understands people are people on this comment section, THANK GOD. 😂Thank you for actually having common sense.
Very true.... the difference is it’s you paying these people through your taxes. If a lawyer says something behind my back, and I pay him/her for services, it doesn’t matter to me as long as I’m getting a good service.
Folks here are still paying taxes and their kids aren’t getting the education they need.
Trust me.... my kids just went back to school and the difference is like night and day. All the kids need to be back in school.
"We want what's best for the kids". Sounds to me what's best for the kids is for parents to pull their kids out of that school and leave the district.
AGREED
And go to another with people with the same energy lol
Right!!! Communities need to create our own school system with no propaganda.
Why though? Teaching is hard. I’m a dance instructor. When we get together and share our thoughts about things parents say or do, we truly are always thinking of the kids. We’re allowed to vent frustrations. Parents can be insufferable.
Have you researched that ridiculous idea? Do you realize every time a child switches schools they fall months behind the curriculum? Transportation isn't provide if out of district. How are the kids getting to school in your scenario? How far will they have to travel? Honestly, your suggestion doesn't make sense
Haha it’s absolutely priceless that she starts crying and you can even hear a second person in the background crying. Lol. This is what the left woke actually sound like unfiltered.
Come on, let's be honest..a lot of these parents don't want their kids at home!! They weren't lying!
Exactly
Of course the parents don’t want the kids at home, the parents are trying to pay for the kid’s education. The parents still have to work, AND watch the kids while they e-learn, AND They are still paying these teachers to teach.
But these teachers have been at home doing half the amount of teaching for the same amount of money for almost a year now. And they HATE the parents. They want to be unchecked, unquestioned, and push whatever agenda they personally hold without consequence, and they HATE the average everyday citizen that pays their salary.
I’ve worked in schools and heard the vitriol almost all, not all, but almost all the teachers and faculty have toward the parents. Disgusting.
Your right like one of them said they want babysitters back
And dumb comments like that are the reason you kids need to be back in school😂 if you think parents are more worried about having a babysitter than going to back to work so they can continue to provide for their family then you personally shouldn’t go back to school because it’s clear you don’t have a future anyways.
I don't understand why you say they want babysitters back. School has always been open, always. The teachers went to college to be teachers, they went to in class college now they are the ones that want to sit at home and teach. They don't have to go to work. Parents have to work to survive. What's wrong with people giving them a hard time when all they want to do is work to pay the bills and more importantly the kids need to go to school and be around friends. I couldn't imagine being on a computer my whole school life. Nobody thinks about the children.
I love the board president's weepy "won't-somebody-think-of-the-children" moment. FAHHHH-Q.
@Latrice B you obviously don’t have any children. School isn’t a babysitter service, it’s a place for children to interact with their peers, learning together, socialising. I’m tired of the teachers as babysitter narrative. If that’s what teachers think of themselves, how can they foster the respect they deserve with that sort thinking/ behaviour?
@Latrice B "Free" LOL
@Latrice B I don't care if teachers think they are babysitters or not. That is on them for mentally framing their profession as something less than it it.
Buck up, put on a mask like everyone else, and get back in the classroom and teach the children...you know, like your job description outlines.

how are ppl offended by this...lol
Dude. It’s sad. These are people who shouldn’t get reprimanded for this. They talked just like anybody else would.
Because many of them never had to work a true service job.
Complaining isn't what's bad here. They insulted ppl during an official public meeting. That violates policies put in place to conduct county business all of which are grounds for removal. However they resigned before removal so they get to keep all their perks retirement medical etc etc and they get said benefits regardless of circumstances. So they will be getting drunk on a tropical beach somewhere in 2 weeks time.
Who are these parents demanding these people be fired so quickly? Some people have way too much time on their hands!
