[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that the primary dangers for teachers are proximity and duration.  I can certainly understand their concerns.

Teachers are stuck in rooms the size of sardine cans with germy asymptomatic super-spreaders whose parents send them in to school regardless of whether they are well or sick.  Teachers have inadequate ventilation in their sardine can rooms and they are stuck there for 7 hours a day with the germy asymptomatic super-spreaders.  Then teachers are told that the kids will eat in the classrooms with masks off???  I wouldn't want to be in that situation, either.

Until parents start understanding the other side of this coin and responding appropriately we are going to be stuck with this situation.  Wise up, parents.

Frankly I don't want my kids in a room with your kids anyway just because your posts here and on other social media show that you are only concerned about yourselves and not others.  When I start to see more responsible behavior from my fellow parents then I'll jump on the back-to-school train.  Until then, I'm with the teachers in saying NO to going back to school face-to-face.[/quote]

Obviously I don’t know what irresponsible parents you’ve been hanging around throughout the pandemic, but the families at our daycare have been taking this seriously.  No one wants to be responsible for causing an outbreak.  We’d all been making do with the kids at home for months, keeping them home for a couple days when sick is just not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.  Temperature checks obviously don’t catch everything but it does prevent anyone coming with an active fever.

I’m also kind of amazed about how people underestimate kids on here. My 4yo understands the need to wear a mask and wash his hands regularly, I’m sure older students could adapt too.[/quote]

You sound responsible.  My confidence level in most parents posting here is in the negatives.  Those are the people who worry me and that's why I'm totally with teachers on this.[/quote]
