[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Families who want schools to open should:

1. Wear high quality masks in front of their kids when in public. Children learn by example. 
2. Avoid crowded places/socializing with people outside of household. 
3. Vax up as much as possible.
4. Not send kids to school with “colds/sniffles/allergies”.

Students with bad mask habits, tend to have anti-mask parents. I see it as a teacher and a parent at our school.

If you want schools to stay open, do your part too.

Teachers quit all the time because they do not feel valued. We see parents schmoozing it up at parties on social media while are spraying down the desks with clorox before students come to class every morning. We keep the windows open in the September heat and the December cold, to increase ventilation in classrooms, We give up our lunch periods so kids can rotate using the lunch room, we alter our lessons when kids cannot work in groups. The list goes on..

I was very sick the entire break. I’m pretty certain I caught it from the 7-8 noticeably sick students in my classroom during the days before break. One told me he felt “like crap” but didn’t want to miss out. I do all the things the PP listed above, yet I don’t see any level of responsibility coming from some of the families.

I’ll head into work tomorrow and will continue to spray down desks 6 times a day. I’ll give up lunch and plannings to cover sick teachers’ classes. I’ll make individual plans for the students who are out sick and I’ll correspond with their families. All I would ask in return? If your kid has symptoms… keep them home!
