Aren't teachers key workers and therefore ..........

[chopc]

Haven't they been able to access childcare at schools?

Here I was sympathetic to all teachers having to deliver lessons whilst looking after their own kids and this just dawned on me.........

So, what do you do to earn a crust @chopc?

I just wantto clarify that I approve of it.

I just can't see why so many fellow teachers are leaving the profession with attitudes like this. A real fucking mystery.

But the schools were closed for a reason. They don't currently need all the teachers in school and if they are wfh then dc don't qualify

Wow this is my favourite teacher thread so far.

If you genuinely didn’t understand the situation OP, you may have written your question like this: ‘Are teachers classed as key workers? If so have they been able to secure school places for their own children during lockdown?’
Instead you went for a slimy, underhand, faux naive ‘I was being sympathetic but now...!’

Then, after some of my fellow professionals, who like me, are really starting to question our career choice, and who are wondering just how much more of this shit we are supposed to put up with, replied - you pretend to be surprised that we’re a bit pissed off?

As I have said previously, if we (as MN see teachers an homogenous lump) are so rubbish, lazy, uncaring and selfish - lobby to reform education. Do away with us. I don’t want my child being taught by a lazy, selfish prick and neither should you!!! Down with useless teachers I say!!!! Fucking waste of breath the lot of us!!!!!!!!

because I have had concerns about my child's distant learning provision and have been wondering how to approach it with her teachers

Bless.

Join the queue of lazy-arsed parents who moan on MN about the provisions for their child and do fuck-all about it. You've waited this long? Of course.

And this has what to do with the online offer?

Either it's OK or not, the teacher's childcare is not the issue. Though the fact that the UK government expects teachers to supply their own laptops, pay their own broadband, etc. might well be more salient.
