[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think teachers just want to feel heard.  We are never part of any decision making and are never asked our opinions. I want to feel like decisions were made with our safety in mind as well it’s scary to think that I will be back in a class of 30 within inches of kids who don’t cover their mouth with they cough or sneeze. The last week we were in school I had a student in class who spent the night in the emergency room for a high fever, cough and chills.  This is in Upper NW. Her parents dropped her off at school and told her to try and make it through the day.  That type of behavior scares me when we go back. I understand parents are frustrated.  I have kids too and it is so hard.  I don’t know what the right decision is but at least acknowledging that we need to change something would help. [/quote]

I want to go back to the classroom but there need to be serious changes to school policies [b]and enforcement to make this work.[/b]  That is across the board- discipline (if a high schooler refuses to wear a mask they must school from home the following week), parent cooperation (if your child shows up sick they school from home for a week), etc.  will they actually do these thins or enforce them? No.  That’s why teachers want to be a part of this conversation.[/quote]
Our elementary does not Enforce the "do not drop your child off before school opens" rule.   How will they enforce anything moving forward? [/quote]

My school has already purchased “no touch” thermometers and trained staff on takinG temperatures as part of daily temperature screening. The plan is to seclude anyone with symptoms and have immediate pickup. My concern is what happens if the parent refuses or sends the kid back the next day? Can you report it? What happens? There have to be more than school consequences. Seems to me that even if a school is trying to prepare and keep everyone safe, unless DC has rules that back schools up, we are in trouble. [/quote]
