[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers are allowed to value their health more than some random kid's education.  Something is wrong with a teacher if the teacher values a kid's education more than their own health.  Give it a rest, angry parents.  Get some therapy, develop a value system, and start to realize that it isn't all about you.

The thread was mostly about long-term DL being offered once the COVID-19 risks have been greatly reduced through vaccines and low community spread. There is a point at which subjective concern about one's own health no longer raises a safe workplace issue.  When that time comes, the choice is not continued DL or in person, but continued employment as a teacher or leaving the profession.

My health is much better since I don't  have a commute, cook my own healthy food at home, don't have to constantly lug big files around, interact with sick co-workers, and exercise during my lunch at home. I am free to prioritize my health when called back into the office, but I am not able to demand a full paycheck and continued employment if my employer doesn't agree. [/quote]
