The unions will insist on no in person school until all kids are vaccinated - which is not happening! The child vaccine is not even in trials yet. Omg how can people not see that no school is so convenient for so many adults in the school system????

Teachers have a right to be healthy. Just because you find it convenient to ignore, doesn't mean vaccines aren't necessary to ensure that.

So you are ok with no in person school till 2022-2023 at the earliest?

DP. I certainly am!!! DL is working great for our family (elementary and middle schools). Our kids are doing well, they are healthy and happy and relaxed. We are happy about DL and much prefer DL to hybrid, which sounds pretty awful.

Are you Ok with many many other kids who may not recover after 2 1/2 years with no school (DL doesn't work for my 4th grader - so no school here unless I get a tutor, which we can't afford). And he is suffering socially - struggled to make friends before this and now without daily social interaction is going to be socially stunted). Other kids I know are having emotional issues. Others are becoming school refuses two months in. And these are all tales from middle class families.

You do have an option of DL in any plan you know,

"Teachers have a right to be healthy" sounds like a talking point, not a plan. I would like to know at what point exactly you mean by this. If you mean zero cases of community covid-19 for three months, you are saying DL for 3-5 years at least, for instance. What are you specifically saying?

DP. That kind of PP doesn't care about anything other than her own children. I wouldn't bother.

I am okay with it because you don't really seem to be trying really hard at making it work.

Teachers have a right to be healthy. Just because you find it convenient to ignore, doesn't mean vaccines aren't necessary to ensure that.

And children have the right to be educated.

Teachers can start by getting healthy - lose some weight and if you have other medical problems preventing you from doing the job that you are being paid to do - teaching is not for you.

This isn't about me. My kid is one kid. There are thousands and thousands of my kids just in DC whose parents can't make it work or don't have the resources to make it work.

They do have a right to be healthy. But they don't have the right to make their job whatever they want it to be. If they're not comfortable with teaching in-person, they have every right to quit. That's how it works for everyone else.

utterly absurd. feds will be back in the office by spring/summer. So we all have to hire FT nannies?

Also: masked PE, outside in the heat? Absurd. Inside, maybe.
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.

You can read the union positions on return to work; they are published. Those standards will not be met before 2022 even WITH an effective, fully distributed vaccine for adults only, and assuming there will be a safe, effective, and fully distributed vaccine is a large assumption. Maybe there will be an effective clinical cure, but I am skeptical.

Personally I think people are engaging in this mass delusion to avoid the hard consequences of what it means to not have regular school until 2022 earliest.

Nope. There are schools everywhere that are open. You're insane if you think schools are going to be closed for TWO YEARS. You better get used to the idea of schools opening, not the other way around.

Aww, that's cute. They won't be opening here, but feel free to pack up and move to Yeehawville, Florida, where you can get your kids warehoused 5 days a week to your heart's desire, and maybe with a bonus side of COVID!

I think some schools will pretend it will be earlier, but that's just posturing and theatrics.

I think if you want in-person school, you have to move or go to private.

I hate unions. They don't care about children at all. The only group that should be allowed to have a union is the children. This is as ridiculous as giving the CEO in a company the union power. Teachers are exploiting children and holding them hostage.

Hahahaha. Again with the "hostage" melodrama. And "The only group that should be allowed to have a union is the children" is legitimately in competition for one of the top 10 dumbest things ever posted on DCUM.

Man you are being played by your teachers.

We have been back in my district 4 days a week since August. No Covid.
It so much better than DL.

+1,000. It's way easier to throw adult temper tantrums and poison their kids' attitudes toward school with their toxicity.
