[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher who will be back in person (with my 6 students who chose in person.) I have no issues going back. 
I’m in the fb group where people are upset with her. Rumor is that she requested to teach virtually and her class is virtual for the year. Some teachers think it’s a bit hypocritical that she is advocating for a return, but won’t be one of the ones returning.[/quote]

She did it because her kids’ teachers are virtual.  She’s practical, not hypocritical like many teachers have been.  [/quote]

100% disagree with this. Not a teacher and my kid will go F2F. She was welcome to write as a parent, but it’s hypocritical as hell to write as a teacher who chose DL for herself. Why is she not taking the risk since she thinks it is worth it? I’m sure there’s a colleague that would like to trade. I do believe that schools are relatively safe with mitigation, but she comes off as holier than though. She wants back in—get the vaccine and go.[/quote]

Whoever is complaining about her working virtual doesn’t know how it works in FCPS.  The only people who are working virtual are those who have an ADA or whose school has a need for them to work virtual. If their school has a need for them to work virtual - everyone should support that.[/quote]

PP—I support it. I also don’t think she should be writing WaPo opinions as if she’s a teacher who is planning to return to the classroom. It’s disingenuous at best. [/quote]

Happy to report this teacher has been in the classroom since March.  Do you really think she would write an article about going in to teach and not do so herself?  She was teaching virtual because she has a 6 and 8 year old who can't stay home by themselves.  Once they were cleared to go for 4 days, she happily returned to school.  [/quote]
