[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend works in DCPS, does not want to teach in person even after the vaccine and just got her second dose. [/quote]

Why doesn’t she want to return? I am struggling to understand. [/quote]

It's not hard to understand at all.  First, being fully vaccinated significantly reduces risks, but it does not eliminate them, especially the risk of passing it on to a family member.  Second, if given the option, very few people would choose to give up work from home, pandemic or not.

Whether the school should accede to her desire is a separate issue of why she wants it.[/quote]

Teachers should take the vaccine and teach in schools.  If they choose not to take the vaccine, they should be available to teach kids that choose not to come back to school remotely if there is such a job available or they should be terminated.

People that work in grocery stores have to work in person as do doctor, dentists, police, and on and on and on.  Teaching children  (K-12) is an in person job.  I have sympathy and support distance learning when necessary but now that there is a vaccine my sympathy is gone.  My sympathy is for the kids that need to be taught in person.

I am willing to go back to my job with a vaccine even though I like working from home.  My job can be done remotely and it may not make sense for me to go back, but if it were better to do in person I would.  I don't care if teachers like working from home, they should then fine a work from home profession.  [/quote]
