“No more patience with you”

“People you or not? Maybe you have an annual conversation with everyone to eat, do you get tired? “,” Stop foaming “,” They’re still growing, you’re just getting old. Patience is enough for them, because they are the future, you do not have patience with you ”,“ After all, there is an order from the director, which you must unconditionally obey without any interpretation ”,“ I sympathize with you and your wishes, needs, working conditions. for whom the engine is not even for what. Satisfied? ”, – the director of the Grigiškės Light Gymnasium educates the pedagogues of the educational institution in a closed group of conversations of school teachers with such and similar phrases.

According to G.Vaitkunskė, many passions in the gym were caused by the director’s decision to change the order of distance learning, according to which all lessons must take place directly on the Google Classroom platform, although until now the teacher could choose how work with children, when direct lessons are needed. solve tasks independently.

“We lead every lesson, even though the teachers are tired, imagine how tired the children are. It is directly ordered to impart lessons such as physical culture, ethics, music, “said the president of the union.

A clause that sounds strange has been added to the new distance training procedure on the remuneration of teachers: “It is recommended to use digital sources to prove, substantiate, argue, interpret, evaluate, etc. without forgetting that the subject of the lesson is taught by a teacher, otherwise the salary is returned to the gym account ”.

It is true that the gym director later explained that she had included this article in the draft procedure specifically to verify that all educators had read the document.

Director: I have not received any complaints

Gym director A.Turskienė explains that only one teacher is dissatisfied with him.

“I can answer that there are 89 teachers in the school, but as I understand it, only G.Vaitkunskė has some problems with the principal. I myself belong to the PS of Lithuanian school leaders (union – aut.) And I communicate well with all PS from teachers. I have responded to the letter provided by the gym PD “, – in the answers 15 minutes said the gym director.

She explained that she was unable to comment on the communication issues, as she had not received any complaints about it: G.Vaitkunsk tiene has no rights over me regarding communication with her, either orally or in writing, and I also have no comment from others, I cannot comment on this. “

The director emphasized that the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports had bought Google and Microsoft licenses for all Lithuanian schools after the spring quarantine.

“Our gym is long and it is important for us to choose the most understandable platform for beginners. Teachers had the opportunity to test their work on both platforms, recommendations from both themselves and the gym’s IT specialists were listened to, and the need for students and parents not to be distracted on various platforms. Google has been selected based on this. The platform also hosts gym documents, school mail for the whole community, textbook digitization, etc., since education Distance learning is legalized in gym regulations (amended) this summer. In the past, work was done on the Discord platform, which is not secure and does not meet BDR requirements, so education policy has encouraged schools to abandon this type of platform and started buying licenses ”, he said.

The school administration is no less tired

Answering the truth 15 minutes questioning if he has anything to do with this, A. Turskienė emphasized that the virtual gym created is managed by an administrator appointed by order of the director.

“I don’t think that for some reason it specifically interferes with the teachers’ work,” he explains.

I understand that we would all like to be paid 8 hours of work and only work 4.

According to the director, the distance learning procedure has been revised in accordance with the new legislation, it does not impose additional requirements on the teacher, which would not be remunerated or increase the workload.

“I understand that we all would like to be paid 8 hours and only work 4, but especially at this time, schools are constantly under pressure from parents if a teacher does not join a lesson, arguing that they have to work as a teacher,” she explained . .

A.Turskienė also said that she understood that teachers are tired due to the stress they experience.

“No less tired is the school administration, which is required to guarantee a comfortable and quality education in a virtual environment, so we respond flexibly to the needs of parents and students. In the spring, we conducted the training virtually synchronously on schedule and it was the choice of the school teachers.

I can’t comment on why, sir. G.Vaitkunskė now wants a different one, because the quarantine, imposed for 3 weeks, has been extended again, but as I can understand from the information provided by the media and the legal opinion received from ŠMSM and the Vilnius municipality, it will not last forever. and children will re-learn in a mixed way. real), ”he wrote.

According to the director, everything happens as in spring, only on another secure platform.

As I understand it from Mr. According to G.Vaitkunskė’s complaint, the teacher did not pay attention to when and how to work and why.

A.Turskienė stated that for a mixed way of organizing the educational process, the gymnasium has agreed (and legal acts allow) to provide non-synchronous training and up to 30%. present the content as a separate task. Working differently, he said, would be really difficult because teachers work with other classes on the same day in real life.

“It just came to our knowledge then. According to G.Vaitkunskė’s complaint, the teacher herself is not caught up in when and how to work and why, but she takes no action to find out, ask the deputy supervisor, the methodological group, the methodological advice or contact the principal directly. Nobody hides the answers if there are questions. I regret the behavior of the teacher, “said the principal in her reply. 15 minutes.
