[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher who is ready to go back to school but I worry about teachers who are older who may not be in the best health. In my school, we have some teachers who are diabetic, have MS and have autoimmune issues. None of them had these issues when they began teaching in their 20s. Do you expect someone to just quit their job in their 50s because they've developed these issues? Hell no. They need the insurance at the very least. What about the teachers who work with special ed students? There is not way they can not touch those kids. No way they can stay 6 feet apart and make sure they were masks, etc. Same with little kids. I'm dreading trying to make sure my 28 kindergarteners keep their masks on all day. You most likely work in an office with adults. That environment is like night and day from a school. Plus our schools are gross to begin with. Few working sinks, rarely do we have paper towels or soap in the bathrooms, etc.[/quote]

Teachers in high-risk should get medical accommodations - i.e., distance teaching or other low-contact/no-contact duties.[/quote]
