[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I’m a teacher and I hate virtual instruction. I hate that I do t truly o ow my students the way I would if we were together. I hate that I have a few struggling students who I could be so much more effective with if I could sit with them and show them how to edit their writing or work out that math problem. We could do our fun dances and routines and I could referee their football games on the playground during recess. I miss that, along with the close friendships and work relationships I have made with my colleagues after working together for the last few years.

But I also do not feel safe being back in the classroom with students and colleagues whose families have different risk awareness than I do. Some of my colleagues are young/single and still hanging out amongst each other and their college friends who are in DC, renting air bnbs for thanksgiving in the mph rains with 10+ other millennials, kids in my class are traveling to see cousins in NY and NC. I am doing none of that, my spouse has a high risk factor, and being back in the building with unmasked lunch and trying to keep distancing... I am not doing it. My child won’t be doing it. [/quote]

They don’t care. 
DL is not good but that’s our fault. 
School isn’t safe but we should go anyway. 
Concurrent learning is a mess and that’ll be our fault too.

They just need someone to blame for this year being misery. Teachers fit the bill. We are working parents just like they are and they do not see themselves in us. [/quote]
