[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its the constant hyperbole that makes parents roll their eyes at teachers. Just admit you don't want to work outside the home. 
This constant "WE DON"T WANT TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" cry is just off putting given that almost everything is open and people are WORKING outside the home and doing so safely. I have been since April. 
And no, not in a 1 person office. In a very public building with people with mental health needs and other barriers. I see hundreds of people a week, take the proper safety precautions, mask/shield etc. It is doable if you just try. My office looks nothing like it did, we are spread out, partitans between secretary and the public, more hand washing, more sanitizer etc. Our cleaning crew cleans every night now instead of 3x a week and our hours at the office are shorter to 9-3 instead of 8-5. 
It can be done people. Just try, i promise it is scary but it can be done. [/quote]

+10000000. The drama and hyperbole is embarrassing, and makes teachers look immature and childish. Let’s actually put some effort into education and TRY to get kids back into schools with PPE and precautions. Just throwing your hand up in the air and saying it’s too hard is not okay.

The worst example in my personal life is a friend who is an elementary teacher in SC. She has been extremely vocal about not wanting to DIE for your kids, not opening schools “until it’s safe,” on and on about how it is ludicrous for her district to even CONSIDER a hybrid option. And yet, her FB feed is full of pictures of her two kids playing soccer on teams (no masks), the three trips they took to FL beaches this summer (crowded beaches and pools, no masks), the indoor play dates and sleepovers she is hosting, and oh yeah - how happy she is that her kids are returning to in person schooling this week at their private school. The hypocrisy is painful. [/quote]
