[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again. To be clear, a lot of what the AAP recommends makes sense, and aligns with what I laid out in the long post above. What I object to is their tone of, well try this, but don't worry about it if you can't live up to this regimen.[/quote]
"If it isn't feasible to put these mitigation tactics in place, just open schools and so be it." As a teacher, that is not good enough for me. [/quote]

Great. Find a new job. Nothing will ever be "safe" enough for teachers. You all have made that quite clear. You seem to be the one group incapable of accepting any risk at all, yet still think you should be paid your full salary.[/quote]

All this strident back and forth is meaningless. [b]Schools won't have in-person learning in Sept. because the virus isn't under control. [/b]People should be making other arrangements.[/quote]

Firehouses won't have in-person firefighting because the virus isn't under control.

Grocery stores won't have in-person grocery sales because the virus isn't under control.

Meatpacking plants won't have in-person meatpacking because the virus isn't under control.

Tomato farms won't have in-person tomato-picking because the virus isn't under control.

Construction sites won't have in-person construction because the virus isn't under control.

The Navy won't have in-person Navying because the virus isn't under control.

Etc.

Right?[/quote]

Oh, grow up.  You can't fight fires remotely.  You can't build houses remotely.  You can't pack meat remotely.  You CAN teach school remotely.  You really can.  Even if parents scream and shout, in 2020, [b]in the time of the Internet, you can teach school remotely, and they will. [/b] [/quote]

DP, but the bolded is only true for a subset of students.  It also completely ignores the problems of (1) parents who need to work full-time and (2) peer socialization for children.  There are others, of course, but those are the two of the biggest.

Defaulting to teaching remotely while refusing to even try any other options is a failure on many levels.[/quote]
