[quote=Anonymous]Oh man I have been defending teachers like crazy during the pandemic but my faith is wavering.

I totally understand a teacher refusing to work in a small classroom where social distancing is challenging, where ventilation isn’t ideal, where there is no guarantee people are properly quarantining after exposure, etc. I cannot argue with the idea that a teacher shouldn’t have to risk death to educate my child. I think it’s safe to open schools, but I don’t blame teachers for wanting to be cautious.

But when they say that distance learning is fine and if kids are struggling it’s the fault of the parent, their motives become suspect. If they want any credibility, they need to acknowledge that distance learning needs to end as soon as possible.

And it’s totally irrelevant why a parent wants their kid to go back to school. Maybe it is just because the parent wants the kid out of their hair. That doesn’t mean the kid shouldn’t go back! It’s just a cheap shot and a red herring. [/quote]
