[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a teacher is vaccinated (and let's just assume the other adults in their household are too), what is the argument for not coming back to teach in person?[/quote]

It's generally one of these:
1. "think of the poor unvaccinated children!"
2.  the vaccines are not 100% effective
3.  I have anxiety about managing post-covid classrooms (I wish this was a joke but there's a blogger who quit her DCPS job because the school wouldn't accommodate her anxiety about having to make sure kids stay 6-feet-apart.  That's after vaccination.)

There are other reasons why schools can't fully reopen that don't have to do with teacher vaccinations; here it's to do with cohorting and the 6-foot distancing rules.[/quote]

You mean 3 ft.[/quote]

It's only 3 feet it the school district says so.  And thus far they haven't.  (Which is annoying, but they also have more conservative rules than CDC on some other covid-prevention measures.)  Also, if they measure desk-to-desk, the 3 foot rule means you STILL can't get all kids into classrooms here.

I moved two desks so that they meet the 3’ guidance to see what kt would look like. It left 10.5” between the desks. I could get my entire class of 23 in at 3’.[/quote]

I mean, that’s great.  We have a couple of principals here stating that their large public ES can’t  fit everyone with the 3-foot distancing.[/quote]
