3 teachers taught from a empty classroom, all caught COVID & 1 died

[Anonymous]

JFC They were trying to do their jobs and be effective distance learning instructors. One still died.

This makes no sense.

I saw this. Also saw that they were following the same precautions (sanitizing, distancing, masking) that we will be in the fall. Not optimistic.

So three adults shared a space and spread the virus among each other.

This has nothing to do with schools.

This is absolutely infuriating. So now that a 61-year-old retired teacher with asthma and multiple health conditions died because she didn't take precautions to protect herself--while claiming that she took them in the classroom (but please, why oh why did the need to be in the same classroom?), people will use this as another reason for not returning to school? This has nothing to do at all with the precautions they took in the classroom. It is very clear that she and her family were not that careful. Plus, she's 61, obese, with asthma. She should have been more responsible. She seemed like a lovely person who was very much loved by her family, so I understand this is very sad. But she didn't take personal responsibility for her own health. And now you nuts all want to prevent healthy children from getting an education over this example? It's so frustrating!

First of all this is one sample.

Let's look at children 82 from a summer camp spread like wild fire. Of course we all want kids back in school. Is it the way to go in terms of killing teachers or staff? Or lasting complications for kids, teachers and staff.

More importantly we need to not overwhelm the hospitals and staff. If we send kids back to school will we be able to keep control of the spread. I doubt it.

That puts us in a crappy place I know.

But this all could have been prevented and as we move forward we need leadership, we have zero. This will not be ending well.

This is an incredibly insensitive response no matter what your opinion is on returning to school. Take a moment to read what you wrote again and think how it sounds from any number of perspectives.

So, do you support providing government payments to everyone with high risk so that they don't ever have to go to work? I'm up for it if you can match my salary and do all my shopping for me.

Very convenient for parents to pretend that teachers should just accept that they will contract the virus and whatever outcome that means, or they are whiners with no work ethic. I don't know who you think is going to run the school when all the teachers are out sick. Some people test positive for over a month. No substitute in their right mind would walk into a school with COVID being passed around.

NP. I disagree. There were extenuating factors at play here.

This was an overnight Christian camp for teens aged 13-18. Teens have been shown to spread the virus more than children, and they were bunking together--no wonder it spread.

+1 there people could’ve been hospital workers, fire, police, factory, grocery store employees.

All the whining from/about teachers is getting old. No one is physically forcing you into the room, just like no one is forcing any of the other workers to go. It’s a choice.

My kid's kindergarten class had one teacher and two full-time IAs. My son's third grade class had a teacher, a part-time IA, and a special ed teacher who pushed in for the other half of the day. Some of the Special Ed classes at my school have at least three adults in the room at all times, plus speech therapists, OTs, and other itinerant staff coming and going all day. It's not unusual.
