[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If teachers don't want to go back, fine that's their choice.  But this hostage taking of students and families has to end.  Let's put all unwilling teachers on unpaid furlough and have schools redirect the funds for subscriptions to Khan or other online education.  Yes, those online providers aren't perfect, but they're FAR better than that crappy DL we had so far.[/quote]
You’re nuts. No one is taking you hostage. Teachers did not cause the pandemic, schools shut downs, distance learning, or any of the other conditions you’re upset about. Teachers aren’t the ones who came up with hybrid learning, either. Those are superintendents and politicians who have zero interaction with children and make far more money than we do. 
Btw, I’m sure your children’s teachers aren’t sitting around hoping you [b]lose your income and can’t feed your family[/b]. You’re a bad person. [/quote]

This is what's going to happen to a lot of people if there isn't 5-day-a-week, all-day school, though.[/quote]
So you do think teachers should be your pandemic babysitters, despite the risks of being in crowded classrooms and all other businesses operating at half capacity. This is the same logic that causes parents to send in their kids when they have the flu. Why does everyone seem to think that the onus is on the school system and not on businesses to change THEIR models? [/quote]

Who said anything about "should"? It's the reality. The reality is, if there isn't 5-day-a-week, all-day school, a lot of parents are going to unable to work for money. That's a public-health outcome, too. Kids tend to do better when their families are financially stable and less well when their families are financially unstable.[/quote]
