Weŕe on day 1 of eLearning, will be doing so for at minimum the next month or so. I would be willing to bet we don´t return at all this year. How are you all handling it? As a teacher or as a parent?

Not a teacher but found out today I will be working from home for the time being.

We start virtual classes (3rd grade) next Monday with our child. We had a practice run with it last week. The school sent iPads home but there was an issue with the software. So far, that’s all I have.

I am curious though about how this changes the required 3rd grade testing that was scheduled for the week after spring break.

Our school corporation will be deciding next week. We are on spring break until the 30th. Rumor is students will be held two extra weeks but staff will return. My quess is that will change. I'm a retired teacher/counselor but work as an instructional assistant.  All assistants are on the clock so alot of people will be without pay.  For many of them , this is their only income. I feel terrible for them. It won't be easy for me either.

Our school Corp is paying hourly employees their average weekly rate for the next 4 weeks. Bless you for being an IA! Wouldn’t survive without mine (I’m a sped teacher)

I sent home a packet of review material to cover this week since it’s the end of the quarter. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re done for the year. eLearning will get trickier if we are out for the remainder of the year and I have to introduce new material. Thankfully there is not that much of that left.

i am a former teacher but my wife is an hourly employee at a school and will be without pay until they go back to school. 

As a former teacher myself, I think it is BS they are not offering your wife some sort of compensation. Many hourly employees made teachers lives much easier.

Just a thought. What about filing for unemployment compensation ? Or are teachers exempt ?  I don't know. My wife taught for 40 years. Thank goodness never faced this problem

My kids started a 2 week spring break yesterday.  The school corp has officially announced the week of 3/30 will be e-learning.  I would expect that to be extended, possibly for the remainder of the year. 

With both me and my wife being told by our employers to work from home, it will be a very interesting time.  We may grow closer, or we may kill each other.

Man you’re not kidding! I’d be shocked if Indiana went back to school this school year.

She is a teacher but not actively teaching,  she stopped working once Ayden was born to stay home and give him the care he needed.  she moved to a position in the cafeteria once Ayden started school because she could be on his schedule and if he misses school no students are missing out on their education because she is not at school. We did not feel that was fair to the kids,  same reason I moved on from teaching. 

Her school outsourced their jobs to a big company. We are checking on unemployment.

If a teacher has a contract or a IA has an letter stating reasonable intent to employ, they can NOT file for unemployment

My wife's school announced they are paying non contract employees 3 days pay a week and paying their insurance premiums.   I'd grab a job at the grocery if I had too.  

At our school they keep the non contract employees under 30 hours so there is no insurance even offered.
