[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once teachers have been vaccinated, it is time to get their reluctant butts back in the classroom.  If they don't feel they can do so because they are "scared," or it's too hard, time to find a new profession.

I am a prof who went back in the classroom in August in an old building, teaching adults, who are far more contagious, with no plexiglass screens, no hysterical hypercleaning, no constant temp check, no testing.  Not one student or prof or staff got sick.  So no sympathy from me on recalcitrant teachers.[/quote]

I'm a prof who is a current 100% in person teacher (unvaccinated) and I am a former high school teacher. The difference is night and day. I trust my college (adult) students to stay away from me, cough in their sleeve, wear a mask, and behave somewhat appropriately. My college, while not modern, is somewhat better funded than the high school I worked at. At the high school I was constantly lied to by admins and packed into a tiny room with rowdy kids who didn't want to be there. The ventilation and carpeting were ancient and the HVAC barely worked. I begged for kleenex and was given one box per month. I understand the lack of trust that K-12 teachers feel. [/quote]
