[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be too chaotic to have in person learning. What don't folks get? The logistics is just too much and I hated DL for my 2nd and 4th grader.

Oh, this is where I completely disagree. These were not unforeseen times. Europe saw these times, Australia and New Zealand saw these times. Our federal and state leaders didn't act and aren't acting now. If kids were put first, bars would be closed, Disney would be closed, church would be closed and we'd be safely opening schools with PPE, tests, and enough space for safe learning. This wasn't some inevitable consequence and because of this, I can't say "bravo" to this kind of "plan".[/quote]

I have to agree our 'state' and federal government have done a very poor job. This is what I as a teacher have been trying to message. I WANT to teach in person, you think I like sitting in front of a screen all day?? I legit had to buy some blue light glasses, it sucks!

But we have never invested in public schools, this is the price we are paying for ignoring it. Teachers have been paying for basic supplies for decades, there's plenty of evidence for this. How many other public service professions to people have to place their own money into?

We really need to take this time to demand for more funds to education, there's no reason schools should be remote learning! They need to spend funds on the supplies to clean schools, masks, daily checks, PPE, dividers, more building space, etc. to ensure safety.

Tests, tests and more tests. We needed massive amounts of tests, which is what was supposed to be manufactured and distributed from March until now. Our government has failed. There are no good choices but the safest choice is to continue to do DL.

Which will suck for everyone and especially the kids who most benefit from being in school. [/quote]
