[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s great that teachers in quarantine want to give students as much continuity as possible.

I do worry about employers who insist that others don’t seem too sick, so they can probably work. (I work full time and have an invisible disability, so I am probably more sensitive to this.) A lot of folks with non-life-threatening Covid still feel completely exhausted. They may not look or sound terribly ill, but they can feel awful. [b]I sincerely hope that those folks aren’t getting pressured into teaching[/b].[/quote]

+1  I also hope this but I think that some people are being pressured.  As you point out, people can look fine but feel awful.  And because there is no workman's compensation teachers are forced to use their own sick leave.  It is a horrible spot to be in and, to me, it is akin to cutting off our noses to spite our faces.  If a teacher doesn't have enough sick leave then the time would be without pay AND the teacher would not be eligible for unemployment.  That's crazy to me.[/quote]

It's not crazy. It's the law, and many workplaces are like this that are not schools.[/quote]
