Agreed- I do think this is a good opportunity to teach children about collective responsibility to society. That is, doctors, nurses, first responders, grocery store employees, food producers, and many other people are doing their jobs at personal risk because their jobs are essential to society. But teachers don't want to do their part, apparently because their parents never instilled in them a similar sense of responsibility.[/quote]

This is the part that really gets me.  I *agree* that teachers are essential workers.  But there are responsibilities that come with that tag as well as benefits.  The notion that teachers shouldn't have to go back until they are completely safe is really misplaced.  As the PP said, there are myriad other workers  who *are* back at work in less than ideal conditions. What is the reasoned argument that teachers should be treated differently?   (I'm actually asking - can anyone make the case?)  [/quote][/quote]

Education is not necessary to support human life. Therefore, not essential, though important.[/quote]
