[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If schools open, then everything needs to open. Parents need to be back on metro & offices ect. 
Also- great question was asked in our PD yesterday. Is central office going to send us (teachers) back before they go back? The response was ‘lots of things are fluid’.

I’m in favor of opening it all up. Everything. 
However- we’ve gotta dump things like school based before & aftercare. Having extra kids loosely supervised in classrooms/buildings is just going to prevent us from having a clean/safe environment. I’m also biased because having these kinds of things @ school has really blurred the lines between what school is and is not.

Open it ALL up. Provide PPE. Give teachers the right to refuse to teach kids who won’t wear it. Train & support teachers who don’t want to assume the new risks at 1 year salary to find a new job. [/quote]

I completely agree.  Students ride the metro to school.  Parents don’t get to decide to send teachers back and then sit around and home “working”.  [/quote]

Are you angry at parents with work-from-home options? I can understand being envious if that arrangement doesn't work for you. However, the "if I have to go back, then everyone has to go back" argument is short-sighted. If everyone goes back to work at once, the chances of kids being exposed and bringing vius to school is much higher.[/quote]

The virus is going to be much higher even if schools open.  People will be going to the salon and getting their nails done.  That means everyone should just go back to work.  You can’t have it both ways.  Calling teachers lazy and saying they aren’t actually working from home and then using the excuse well I have to work from home because the virus will spread faster if I go to work.  It makes no sense.  Either it’s safe or it isn’t.  Teachers and students ride metro.  If it’s safe for them....it’s safe for you. [/quote]
