[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Agreed- I do think this is a good opportunity to teach children about collective responsibility to society. That is, doctors, nurses, first responders, grocery store employees, food producers, and many other people are doing their jobs at personal risk because their jobs are essential to society. But teachers don't want to do their part, apparently because their parents never instilled in them a similar sense of responsibility.

Doctors, nurses, and first responders took jobs knowing they'd be put in harms way. Not that they deserve any of this, but still, it is part of their jobs they may anticipate. The other jobs you listed do not involve sitting in an enclosed room with 12 individuals all day, with at least 20-30 minutes of that day being mask-less. [/quote]

Are you serious?  What about all the poor people who are currently working in places that have indoor dining.  No one is wearing a mask while they consume food, and it is not just 12 people in there all day  - it is hundreds of people going through and eating.  Did they take the job knowing they would be in harms way?  Why is no one concerned about them?  Is is because they are generally poor and uneducated?[/quote]

Nice try.  Do you spend 8 hours in a restaurant?  No.  Also, not a lot of children in the restaurants, but that point won't make sense now that you've cut off part of my text.  Finally, your calling restaurant staff "generally poor and uneducated" is telling.  I call them friends, parents and community members who will be exponentially more exposed should their children go to school in person under the current plan.  I know some who have opted for and were lucky enough to find alternative work during this time, because they are not in a specialized profession at this time, unlike teachers.  I do hope people are concerned about them, and do all they can to support them, too.  We all know that concern for some does not detract from concern for others, right?    [/quote]
