Why are most teachers too scared to return to in person teaching, but most parents want schools open

Many parents are voicing sadness and frustration that their children's lives are still upended for the upcoming school year, but it doesn't mean they WANT schools to reopen with the pandemic uncontrolled as it is.

Inaccurate- the FCPS survey showed that over 50%, that's the majority, opted for having their kids in-person for as long as was on offer, 2 days.
It was the teachers' associations that held the kids to ransome.

Not really. The survey was self-selecting and therefore the results are inherently biased. Families that really needed the child care responded because, well, they needed the child care. I think most of the DL preferred families didn't respond because they knew that would be an option anyway.

It’s pretty impressive how you twisted the survey results in your mind to fit your own narrative.

Very clearly 60% of families wanted in person learning. Very clearly another large percentage of those who chose distance learning only chose distance learning because their child would get 4 days a week instruction rather than just 2 days for the hybrid option. A lot of them actually wanted in person learning.

There was nothing "very clear" about any of this. Not the survey results, for sure. AND it varied widely by school. So just stop.
