[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm basically just shocked you still have WTU officials stating that schools aren't safe for in-person instruction.  It seems increasingly devoid from reality.[/quote]

I’m also shocked that you believe this is happening. Can you find those officials because I haven’t seen anyone say that. They have been asking for repairs
And upkeep for their buildings but that is not the same as saying schools are unsafe for students [/quote]

I clicked on the tweet on the first page of this thread.  Scroll down one tweet for Fuchs saying that if Central office doesn't have to go to work in person, that suggests it isn't safe for teachers to teach in person.

She also has testimony from the beginning of the school year saying that in-person learning is unsafe.[/quote]

Here's her testimony from Aug. 23:  "It is NOT safe to return to in person instruction. Advertising it as such is a recipe for disaster."

That is from before this school year even started. Find me something that says that WTU officials are still saying schools are not safe for reopening[/quote]

Already did, above.  [/quote]

You know what?  I take it back.  I assumed badly that because the tweet on the first page of this thread was linked now, that it was a recent tweet.  It is from Oct. 7, 2020.

Mea culpa.[/quote]

How about a mea culpa from WTU? Did they say they were wrong when they said schools were unsafe? Did they apologize for parading child size coffins around? What about when they brought bodybags to the city government, labeled "your favorite teacher"? Did they apologize for forcing schools to close on Wednesday for completely needless "deep cleaning"? Did they apologize for keeping schools closed here far, far longer than they needed? Seems like WTU has a lot to apologize for. [/quote]

Howaboutism is a lot like whataboutism [/quote]

DP. The PP’s post has nothing to do with whataboutism. She isn’t countering a request from the previous poster in order to deflect. She is making the very valid point that grave mistakes were made and it would be nice to see that acknowledged by those responsible for it. [b]There will be a reckoning at some point, if not now by those culpable, it will come from those who were harmed when they grow up. [/b]I know that is an uncomfortable thought for many.[/quote]

Have to add that the bolder is both weird and kinda threatening. Are you saying that the children who learned at home for a year will rise up against their teachers? Sounds like an m night shamylan movie[/quote]

No, that’s not what I’m saying. You are taking things too literally and personally, which is what’s weird. What I’m saying is that history will not judge these decisions and their makers kindly. It would be nice if that reckoning could happen earlier — not for purposes of revenge as you seem to assume, but in order to avoid repeating these mistakes during the next pandemic, which may not be another 100 years away.[/quote]

I also hope that things go better in the next global pandemic. Very controversial takes you have on here[/quote]
