[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If schools open without very strict protocols, [b]adults working in the buildings will be FAR MORE EXPOSED than you or the average working adult[/b], OP. Teachers in the NY public school system died because schools closed too late. Shame on you. If you are so moronic as to misunderstand the level of risk involved, don't whine about "being so tired". Everyone is tired of this pandemic! Accept that some adults have been more exposed than you, or will be more exposed than you, and that a pandemic involves caring for others and making sure they're as safe as they can be. A novel concept for you, it seems. [/quote] PP, I think you need to think about who the "average working adult" is. In May 2019, the largest occupations in the US were: retail salesperson, fast food and counter workers, cashiers, home health and personal care aides, registered nurses, general office clerks, laborers and hand material movers, customer service representatives, wait staff, and general and operations managers. MCPS must offer distance learning as a reasonable accommodation for teachers/staff in high-risk categories. But for teachers/staff who just don't feel safe being back in school, at some point, they're going to have to make a choice: do your job in school, or find a different job somewhere else.[/quote] PP you replied to. True, I was thinking of DCUM occupations. And I also agree with your conclusion. However OP's whining really irritates me. "Tired" is better than dead, OP! We can have a calm discussion about this, but it's petulant and self-centered to criticize teachers and declare oneself tired of a entire professional group. I've noticed that DCUM usually targets teachers. Every month there's an anti-teacher thread. I appreciate how exhausting it is to be in the classroom day in, day out, and I wonder who these grumpy people are, who always find fault with others. OP must harbor similar sentiments against other groups she doesn't feel kinship with... [/quote]
