[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newsflash:

I'm a teacher who is expected to be brought back to teach as I have no accommodations. I selected the virtual option but I know that's unlikely.

If I'm forced to teach in person I'm going to quit. And I know that I'm not the only one. Mark my words.

That's why it's important for each principal to know in advance prior to making the final plan.[/quote]

I'm a former teacher, so I sympathize with everyone still in the classroom. With that said, I think the unemployment rate is too high right now for there to be a mass exodus of teachers. It may push a lot of eligible retirees out of the classroom, but I don't see a lot of people quitting. It was already difficult to get out of teaching pre-Covid. During a pseudo-depression with tens of millions of people out of work and companies scaling down operations to stay afloat, I think a lot of people are saying that out of exasperation. Again, I sympathize because it's a terrible position to be in, but we won't lose a lot of teachers. [/quote]

Agreed.  I don't know many teachers who work even though they don't need the paycheck and can just walk away tomorrow.  I get it; I'm a nurse and we're in the same boat except we've been working in-person all along.  There are very few nurses who work for fun.  We might love our jobs but we do it for the income.  
The city (and surrounding districts) need to call teachers on their bluff regarding quitting. [/quote]
