I secretly despise my child’s teacher. Conferences to be held get canceled on snow days citing they’re closed. Except, how did they do their work from home? It was a scheduled zoom meeting. My child has some troubles and needs behavioral health interventions and I’m still working today despite my agency being closed. Such dedication from this teacher in ensuring they have their needs met. Isn’t the first time either.

Can you really not imagine a reason the teacher could not do the conference? I'm a teacher with two small children. On a snow day, my kids are home. I could never have a confidential conference while snowed in with them. The district did not permit it. For those kind of meetings, we had to use an empty classroom at the school.

There are also many districts that do not allow teachers to contact parents outside of school hours. (Snow days are legally outside of school hours). It is important to have boundaries.

If they are going against the ADA each incident should be documented and brought to the district's attention. You clearly aren't making any headway with the teacher. Keep escalating it until you find someone that cares. With the ADA, it should not take long.

Maybe they have their own kids who now have no childcare/school to occupy them?

Teachers are generally not paid on snow days.

Salary is salary. They sign a contract each year and are told how much they’re getting paid each pay period. I’m also aware that many schools have actually made it so teachers are getting paid through the summer, so this again raises the issue- they’re salary, they’re getting paid either way. I don’t have the luxury of simply being told when this conference is going to be and me being able to do it, either. I work a salary position. I still work today. There are days I work until 3 pm and days I work until at least 5. Depends on what I have scheduled

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
