[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I’m a teacher and administration told us today that we may not be back in the buildings in September, October, or November and to be prepared. We all feel really anxious and overwhelmed. [b]Remote learning is boring and exhausting and joyless.[/b] No one wants this to continue, but we also won’t go back without protocols in place to keep everyone safe. I see a lot of parents on here who seem angry about the fact that schools will not just go back “as normal”. If you want schools to open up you need to support these measures. If parents are largely unwilling to comply with safety precautions it just won’t work.[/quote]

[b]This.[/b]

How will we measure the cost of all of those kids who could have been inspired, kept a spark and desire to keep learning, but now won't because they are stuck with "remote learning" that in the best of circumstances (ie, functional family, good wifi, sufficient computers, etc) is boring and joyless?  Not to mention all those kids who don't have the best of circumstances?  Not to mention the drop-off in referrals for child abuse (because the teachers aren't there to see it), etc.

We need to go back to school in person.  To the extent the school is able to put in place the safety measures, it should.  But if the safety measures are not feasible that should not lead to no (or only half-time or quarter-time) in-person school.  Fact: people are going to die of this disease.  Most of them will be elderly.  That is very sad.  But it is even more sad to lose a generation of kids.[/quote]
