[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people should extend the same understanding to teachers that they do to essential workers like delivery people and grocery store workers. When school begins in person, teachers will face much greater risks than them, because they are in closer physical contact with children than anyone is with customers, and children have poorer hygiene. People may say that children don’t get the coronavirus in great numbers, but clearly they are vectors. If I’m not supposed to pet your dog because he might transfer germs to me, I’m sure I shouldn’t be hugging the child you just hugged.[/quote]

You're not supposed to be hugging your students anyway, so....[/quote]

I teach kindergarten.  Yes, I hug.  All the time.  The day my district tells me I cannot hug kids?  I'll be done.  But that won't happen because my district has sense.  That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.  It makes sense not to be alone in a room with a child.  It makes sense not to kiss a child.  But hugging a 5 year old?  Come on. [/quote]
