[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most parents do NOT want schools to open. They are well aware of the risks! Many parents are voicing sadness and frustration that their children's lives are still upended for the upcoming school year, but it doesn't mean they WANT schools to reopen with the pandemic uncontrolled as it is.

Every polls I’ve seen taken by a local school district Or private school in the last month has between 60 and 85 percent of parents in support of school reopening.  National polls differ because of local covid situations.[/quote]

I'm a different poster but the polls done in NOVA such as FCPS, APS, and Falls Church showed 60% or more wanted to start school with the hybrid choice. That doesn't mean full time with packed classrooms, but they want some in-person option. [/quote]

Why don't you sign up to teach at a school since its important to you?  You are willing to risk our teachers lives but not your own.[/quote]

I would if I wasn't already doing my OWN damn job. You know, the one I am hired to do and get paid to do.[/quote]

Yes, and please tell us of the conditions of your job. Are your co-workers climbing onto your lap and hugging you tightly whenever they see you? Do they routinely sneeze and cough into your face? Are you in a room with them for 8 hours straight, no breaks? Are you constantly needing to remind them not to touch their private parts, pick their noses, etc? Are they constantly sticky, grimy, or smelling faintly of poor bathroom hygiene?[/quote]

DP, and come on.  That does not describe all school-aged children, not by a long shot.  Your description does remind me a lot of preschool and younger kids, MANY OF WHOM HAVE BEEN IN DAYCARE FOR MONTHS WITH NO OUTBREAKS.

Yes, I'm shouting.  Yes, I know it's not a direct parallel.  But FFS, enough with the "these kids will snot all over me all day long and that never happens anywhere else but in elementary schools" schtick.  It's not accurate and it undermines your credibility.[/quote]
