[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line is: teachers needs to get vaccinated and get back to school and teach our kids. No more excuses and BS. I am a single Mom, working full time from home, and I am not my kids' teacher. It's impossible to work from home and supervise my two ES kids at the same time. How long do you teachers want to stay home and teach via DL? Like forever? It has been more than a year now. How are working parents supposed to work and not go crazy? Do teachers who do not want to go back to teach at school even care about the kids' development and mental health? C'mon ! [/quote]
“I work from home, but the bottom line is that other people should put themselves at risk because it’s more convenient for me.” [/quote]

Yes, I am not a teacher. My kind of work is such that I can 100% do it from home. In fact, I can be sitting anywhere in the world and do it. Does not make a difference. Teaching ES kids is not that kind of work. ES Teachers need to be in school, teaching young kids. Just like doctors/ nurses/ bus drivers/ garbage people/ cashiers can not do their work from home, right? Why on earth would teachers be at risk once they are vaccinated? Please give me the reasons, and they better be good ones. Why are you trying to twist this about "my convenience"? Are you out of your mind? Don't you understand that this has a domino effect on society? Parents are not able to work and take care of their kids, we are not teachers. Teaching is a profession. Parents are getting mentally ill, and can take care of their kids even less. Kids are getting mental health issues. Kids are falling behind. Being out of school for 1.5-2 years is a big deal. So, don't make this about "my convenience". [/quote]
“Getting mental health issues” lol. I’m going to assume English is not your first language and give you the benefit of the doubt. Teachers don’t exist to fix parent “mental health issues” or allow you to telework in peace. Our job is to assess students, provide tailored instruction, and monitor progress. In what world have students been out of school for 1.5-2 years? The pandemic only began a year ago.

This is all about your convenience. If you want to work in peace then hire someone to come work with your children for an hour or two a day to help with their work, just as people have been doing all year long. Put on headphones. It is not the school or the teachers’ fault that you are a single mother or mentally ill. Frankly? It is totally irrelevant. [/quote]

You sound quite entitled for a teacher. Don't you care about the wellbeing of the kids you are in charge of teaching? Don't you get what I described above or you just don't care? 
By Sept. it will be 1.5 years of DL. No-one said it was anyone's fault that I am a single Mom. I was just giving some examples and scenarios for those people who still do not understand why DL does not equal in-school education, like e.g. you it seems. And you are not my teacher (luckily), so you do not need to lecture my knowledge of English. If kids will not go back to school soon, an entire generation will have major issues with math, English etc etc. And yes, many kids are having mental issues, as parents too. [/quote]
Don’t you care about the well-being of other people? No, right? You only care about yourself and your kids. It is the absolute epitome of entitlement to believe you deserve to work from the safety of your home while others put themselves unnecessarily at risk to better serve you. You aren’t worried that a child dies of COVID every 26 hours in the United States or any of the 1,536 people who died yesterday. Gross. [/quote]

Some of you are either idiots or have reading comprehension issues. Did you really not understand what I wrote? I wrote "if schools do not open in September", after teachers and most adults will be vaccinated. How can it be risky at that point? You cannot be serious![/quote]

I guess you're looking in the mirror when you're talking about "idiots" who may "have reading comprehension issues."  Because you certainly don't have a grasp on what is going on.

It is risky because the children won't have been vaccinated and they are known vectors - they are asymptomatic superspreaders.  That makes them risky for vaccinated adults because no vaccine is 100% effective and no vaccine has even 50% efficacy for ALL of the current mutations let alone the new mutations that will occur over the next 6 months.  THAT's why it is risky.

I don't understand what you don't understand about this.  It really isn't that difficult to comprehend.

I'm a DIFFERENT POSTER by the way - just a newcomer wading into the fray.[/quote]
