We are currently looking to move our kids to private as soon as possible, and will not look back.

This comes across as “Teachers, hardly anyone respected you before. And now, no one respects you. You just need to shut up and be willing to die so we can get our kids out of the house already.”

Not very a persuasive approach.

Actually some of us are parents. Teachers have no say in if they go back or not. I think you are a bigger disappointment as a parent who doesn't want to support or take care of their kids during the day and insists its the school's job. Move to private... enjoy.

Can you give me an idea of what your situation is in life? I know no one like you in real life - so I'm very confused by this sort of post. Do you work? What kind of job do you have/did you used to have? Are you this rude to people you know in real life?

Also: socializing? Kids will be policed and there will be no resources left for any kind of socio emotional learning.

Our private has been open since the start of the school year. For PE, they do it outside or inside (depends on weather) but I get the impression it's not 30 minutes of intense cardio anyway.

For recess, the blacktop is marked off so each class has their own segment to play in. They still socialize fine while following the rules. Our 2nd grader reports the kids have made up various playground games where they can keep their distance and still have fun. Kids can adapt.

It’s a private school.

So? Should public school students not get the same?

School will be back in the fall. We will have spring and summer to vaccinate. States already finalizing plans to aggressively roll out the vaccines. The vaccines are already being made (Warp Speed). Teachers will be in the front of the line to get the vaccine. When it comes people will take it. Plus if we have a different administration mask wearing will increase. We will be back in the fall.

You are dreaming. I wish you weren't, but you are.

Nothing is going to persuade the teachers. As a group they're not acting or negotiating in good faith. Focus on persuading the Boards of Education and administrators to force the issue so individual teachers can make the choice for themselves: return teaching, or find a different job.

The manufacturers leading the pack anticipate enough doses to vaccinate every American by summer of 2021. Approval is imminent, and frontline workers will be first in line.

Get out of here with late 2022 bs.

Thank you- that’s a relief. We can power through this year of DL then.

Then who will teach your children? There aren't enough teachers as it is. There will be even fewer if you try to force them when we know and you know and they know that it isn't safe for them. Why is there such an intensity and fervor for this particular group of adults to literally be committing suicide because you didn't plan ahead and you aren't good at managing your children and your family?

There is nothing rude about her post. You think it is rude because she didn't agree with you and fall over to your bs.

They're not really teaching them now, so what's the difference? If there's really a shortage, something will change to attract more. It's the sort of thing that can work itself out after a year or two.

Would you really describe doctors and nurses going to work as "committing suicide"? Or grocery store workers? Or meat packers? Or bus operators?

And yes, I'm sorry I didn't get a special education degree so that I'd be prepared when I had an autistic son and special education programs shut down and half the private therapists closed and the other half were overbooked to the point of not even putting new patients on a wait list. Definitely should have foreseen that.

You decided to be a parent and now that it isn't cracked up to what you thought it would be you are foisting your child off on other people because you don't want to deal with him. Not everyone gets to go to Italy. A lot of people end up in Holland. We don't get mad about it, we deal with it. I don't understand why you don't understand that.

We are currently not in Italy or Holland. We're stuck in O'Hare, we've been here for 9 months, sleeping on the floor of the terminal. Our sister's kids are in school, our cousin's kids are in school, our friends' kids are in school. While we're stuck here at the airport, with no ticket, nothing.

NP here but PP please ignore this poster who is always harping on about how everyone should have known the country would shut down before they had kids. And it’s clear they are fortunate enough to not have a child with special needs because if they did they would show compassion and realize no one wishes that on their child.

And also to the PP likening teachers returning to school as suicide is ridiculous. If it were that dangerous I would hope someone would take leave. I am a teacher in her 30s who would love to go back and would not feel like it was suicidal.

They should but they won’t. They aren’t paying for services directly so there are more ways to screw them over.
