Can we just drop the argument that elementary teachers can do their jobs remotely?  If doing your job remotely requires 20-25 other adults to constantly monitor and assist the children who are supposed to be under your care, you are not able to do your job remotely.[/b][/quote]

Schools are not childcare facilities. Those 20-25 adults are actually called “parents”. Monitoring and assisting your children is called parenting. [/quote]

Except that they are.  Supervision is a part of the job.  What happens if a first grade teacher gets up and leaves the classroom for ten minutes so she can drop a deuce?  That's right, she can't do that.  Because she is supposed to be providing supervision as a function of her job.[/quote]

Nope.  Not required during a pandemic.  Their employers set their conditions of employment, not you.[/quote]

Oh good, we’re back to “it’s a panini” and no one has to do their jobs. I really look forward to when we’re 5 days a week in person in the fall and you can’t fall back on those old talking points anymore. [/quote]

The governor of NJ has just said schools won’t be allowed to offer virtual options in the fall. So glad we can all dispense with the fiction that virtual school is school.[/quote]
