[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is thread is wildly self righteous. As a teacher I hate to tell you that I would do the exact same thing the next time a deadly pandemic came through. I was back as soon as we could get vaccinated but wasn't going to risk my life for my work. Obviously we learned later that some measures weren't needed during Covid, but I'd much prefer being more cautious than aggressive when it comes to my life.[/quote]

Seriously. I don’t see any of these folks volunteering to teach. Many of them STILL don’t go into their offices![/quote]

Teachers are vital, just like police, fire, health professionals - all of whom stayed on the job.[/quote]

Then pay them? Then respect them! Then don't try to tell them how to do their jobs! Support them! Teach your kids to respect them! If they are so damn valuable, treat them as such! [/quote]

My public school district pays well actually.  And they are respected.

Of course, my district was also open and not remote with the exception of the spring 2020.

They showed up for the kids and that is exactly why I respect them so much.  That’s not the case for many.
