[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yawn. No teacher is actually getting the vaccine and then balking. Made up drama . [/quote]

This isn’t true. There are teachers in APS who got the shot and are now saying 1) [b]they aren’t comfortable going back until either all family members have the shot because they are afraid they will bring the virus back home[/b] or 2) all kids have the shot. (Different people, different positions.)[/quote]

That sounds reasonable to me.  I wouldn't want to bring the virus home to my family, either. [/quote]

Experts are saying that's highly unlikely that vaccinated people still spread, but they make that caveat just because they are not 100% sure. In any case, if that's how teacher feel then they didn't need to be first to get vaccinated. [/quote]

As long as the teacher has a choice.  The problem is that most people posting here think they can strong-arm teachers into the classroom and I don't think that is going to work.  Teachers have legitimate concerns.  If I ignored legitimate concerns of my employees then I deserve the push back I get.  The same situation exists here.  Employees are pushing back for legitimate reasons and no one is listening to them and managing the situation to address the concerns.[/quote]

Uh, it's January.  Obviously the schools are listening to their employees concerns.

Yes, parents would prefer that teachers quit and their kids be in the building being taught by bus drivers.  School boards aren't listening to parents.  [/quote]

I think we aren't open in buildings b/c we haven't met the public health metrics.  [/quote]

You think wrong.  The health metrics were good in the fall and we weren’t in school. [/quote]

Fall doesn't matter.  The metrics right now matter.  [/quote]
