[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]anyone else feel like this is some psychology experiment? Like teachers who had very little power in the past now get a little bit of power by refusing to work and are now becoming these tyrants she'll claim parents want them and their children to die?

OP here.  I actually do find it fascinating that teachers (and their organizations) have been so willing to finally take a hard line stand to something, when normally teachers put up with an unreal amount of expectations to give up their free time for work. I think the expectation that teachers should be willing to just give up all their personal free time for "the good of the kids" is just so entrenched that they don't feel comfortable speaking up against it.  However, Coranavirus is a new issue, and now they have a "good excuse" to take a stance against something. They now have the argument that their health would be put at risk. And for those saying DL is more work.  Well in some cases yes, but as a PP said - during DL in the Spring she was on the computer from about 7am - 8pm.  Honestly, during in person teaching I work these same sort of horrible hours.  If I had to choose, I'd rather work these crappy hours from the comfort of my home, where I can at least take some small breaks, and throw in a load of laundry.  And did I mention, how glorious it is to not have to deal with crappy discipline issues from middle schoolers?[/quote]

I think the teacher is very well know that whatever plan the school puts out it will be inadequate and it will probably fall on them to fill in the gaps, whether that means buying masks for students or their own cleaning supplies or other things. [/quote]
